Contents Pane is blank - Solved

Question

Hi I've been using a map with several layers and the contents pane is now suddenly blank so that I'm unable to access any layers in the map. I've tried making a duplicate .aprx file and deleting the ESRI folder in AppData\Local and AppData\Roaming but nothing seems to work.

edit: I figured it out. I had to open layers under Maps from the catalog pane but now I dont know how to delete this post.

Thanks for the additional post. Refreshing the map worked for me on v 3.4.2.

Same, except that for me it happens randomly and the fix is also random: sometimes simply refreshing the map, sometimes, dragging in a random feature class (such as @DaveSivertsenz ), or reopening the project a couple times.

@Esri, bug?

Thanks! To clarify, I needed to drag in/add a random featureclass from the catalog to the map to get the blank contents to refresh. Then delete said random featureclass.
