Additional Information
ArcGIS Desktop (including ArcGIS Engine and ArcObjects) is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026. Mature support means the end of functionality-based patches and hotfixes; therefore, this issue will not be addressed. There are no plans for future releases of ArcGIS Desktop, and it is recommended that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/resources/migrateWorkaround
- Open the Select By Location tool from the Search or ArcToolbox window and the tool lists the active data frame's layers without any issue.
- Reopen the MXD file, and open the tool from the Selection tab. The Select By Location tool lists the active data frame's layers when the map is open.
