ArcGIS - Editor toolbar not opening

Geographic Information Systems Asked by Lina A Widenfalk on August 16, 2021

I have installed ArcGIS Desktop 10.5.1 on a new computer and have a problem that I have never experienced with any previous versions of ArcMap.

Pressing the button of the toolbar for the Editor I can’t access the toolbar. Neither does it open if I go to Customize – Toolbars and cross in the box for it there. All other Toolbars seem to open correctly.

I also can see that the program notices that I have pressed the button by the ArcMap-window ‘flickering’ and I see the Editor-toolbar that should open for less than a second at some occasions.

I have tried to see if it ends up hidden somewhere, but it does not seems like it.

Does anyone know what can be the problem and how to handle it?

I have tried to search for answers both at the ESRI help-page, here in previous asked questions and in other broad search engines, but this doesn’t seem to be a common problem.

One Answer

I would recommend deleting the mxd defaults located here named "normal.mxt":

C:Users(user name)AppDataLocalESRIDesktop(version#)ArcMapTemplates

You may have to configure windows to show hidden folders:

This will reset the interface to installation defaults next time you start ArcMap.
