Unable to Adjust Layer Order in ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2

[YingboDong]

Hello everyone,

I am currently facing an issue where I am unable to adjust the layer order in ArcGIS Pro. Here's a brief overview of the situation:

• I am working in the Map tab and have already clicked on the Drawing Order button to enable layer order adjustments.
• Despite this, I am unable to drag layers up or down in the Contents pane to adjust their order.
• I also tried creating a new project, but the problem persists, and I still cannot reorder the layers.
• My ArcGIS Pro version is 3.4.2.

If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has a solution for this, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately, you do not seem to be the only one.

did you also meet this?

[Eugene_Adkins]

Not me. I'm not using the same version of Pro as you. If you click "Unfortunately" in my original reply, it will bring you to another post where a different user is experiencing the same problem after updating to version 3.4.2.

Hi @YingboDong 

Have you had the following windows update applied to your machine 

KB5050094

Is your machine Windows 11 also

Hi Daniel,

Yes I think I had update KB5050094.

My machine is Windows 11

Is this the main reason?

Thank you for confirming @YingboDong 

Can you try the following steps to work around this issue? Let me know if this works for you. 

The current workaround is to uninstall the update KB5050094.

Steps to do this:

1. Navigate to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View update history

2. At the top of the page select 'Uninstall updates' and select the KB5050094 update to uninstall

3. After the update has successfully been uninstalled, restart computer.

4.Launch ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro and you should now be able to move layers as expected.

Hello,

Several people in my office have encountered the same issue this morning. They have done the Windows Update uninstall workaround with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
