ArcMap 10.3 Toolbar are moving when they are docked

[BrandonLee1]

Has anyone else experienced issues with the toolbars mysteriously moving around within ArcMap?

Having to rearrange the 10-15 toolbars is somewhat of a pain. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, or if I am alone of having this issue.

If anyone knows of a way to keep the format of toolbars in case they decide to move around again, please advise.

I'm not sure the best place to put the question so I included it in Mapping and Charting.

Brandon,

Check the following to troubleshoot the issue:

• Are you using two screens? If yes, is ArcMap running on your primary screen or secondary screen. Check ArcGIS Desktop 10.5 system requirements—System Requirements | ArcGIS Desktop 
• Does this happen with on a new map document or an existing map document?
• Check with a different user profile on your machine?
• Test the same on a different machine, see if the issue replicates.
• If all the above fails then try Resetting your ArcGIS application profile 

I hope this helps,

Regards,

~S

Check for ArcGIS 10.3.x for Desktop system requirements—Help | ArcGIS Desktop and not ArcGIS Desktop 10.5 system requirements—System Requirements | ArcGIS Desktop

You indicate that you are using ArcMap 10.3... I can't remember back that far, but I have never experienced toolbar migration in 10.4, 10.4.1 or 10.5.  Operating system Windows 10.  What else is in your environment and has the problem existed just for 10.3? or for prior versions?

There's a long discussion about moving toolbars in many different versions, including 10.x: https://community.esri.com/thread/96249

Shantonu,

Thank you for responding. Yes, I have a triple monitor set up and ArcMap is always running on my main screen. Just as a frame of reference, this has only happened twice on my computer and once on another user's computer. 

It seems to be hit and miss of the toolbar migration. I've tried all of your suggestions before asking this question...and just decided to drag and drop them to the correct positions.

Dan,

I am running a sufficient enough computer with Windows 7. I have only noticed this problem with 10.3 as well.

Thanks for the replies.

 I have same problem with ArcMap 10.6.1 on Windows 10. So annoying!

[BrandonLee1]

It's been about 6 months since my toolbars have moved, but now I am on ArcMap 10.6 and still using Windows 7.

So to recap - Both ArcMap 10.3.1 and 10.6 have produced mysteriously moving toolbars while on Windows 7.  I ended up taking a screenshot of my ArcMap session and stashing the photo away so I can re-organize them once it happens again... if it does.
