Acrobat X Pro is not compatible with Windows10, it may or may not work. You may refer to Adobe Acrobat system requirements from the Adobe website.
You could try running Acrobat in compatibility mode for Windows7. Right-click on Acrobat X shortcut on desktop> select Properties>under Compatibility tab>check the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode. Adobe Acrobat X pro works smoothly in Windows 7 so recommended to choose from the drop-down options, click on Apply, and OK.
