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.

I would recommend deleting the mxd defaults located here named "normal.mxt":
C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Local\ESRI\Desktop(version#)\ArcMap\Templates
You may have to configure windows to show hidden folders:
This will reset the interface to installation defaults next time you start ArcMap.
