Drag and Drop to Desktop to Extract stopped working

I can no longer drag pages from the Pages Thumbnail sidebar onto my desktop to make a new PDF of those pages. I haven't tried to do this since the last update came through... Is anybody else experiencing this?

It's extremely slow and frustrating having to manually right click extract, select the pages, open it in a new adobe window, then have to save the file through the menu.

    After going into tools / organize mode, previously I was able to extract (drag) pages from one file to another but for some reason, I can't do it anymore. WHY?

    Working on an HP laptop with Windows 10, using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020, version 2020.001.30020. Cannot also get the feature to drag and drop a thumbnail to the desktop. Have turned off the security features. Any other help would be appreciated.
