It should be running, but I've seen a case where it was not running and this caused the same issue described here. Once it was running again, the issue was resolved. What theme are you using in Windows? Surprisingly, in non-esri forum someone found where changing the theme resolved a very similar issue.

That's certainly odd. If you need to edit your original layers, we'd be interested to know the source for those layers, ex. shapefiles, FGDB feature classes, etc. Plus, I'd be curious what the Editing Status dialog box reports. Anyways, I'm glad you have a solution for now. ... View more

Hi Brian, I wanted to provide some clarification here, as I see you are working with Group Templates and not just standalone Feature Templates. There are some limitations when sharing Group Templates through layer files and layer packages. For example, if you save a layer file that contains a Group Template when you add the layer file to a new Project it may be missing the references to other layers that are used in the builder. These references will have to be repaired manually in the Group Template properties, or if you want to make sure the template will function in another Project, you can use map files to share them. Save a map file—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop   These limitations are planned to be addressed in a future release of ArcGIS Pro.
