Are you using the outdated CLASSICLAYER or the default LAYERPALETTE?
What is the LAYERDLGMODE System Variable set to 1 or 0?
Have you installed the latest updates for your AutoCAD version?

Do you, prhaps, have the Layer Manager's Filter set to only "All Used Layers"?
Then the list won't include Layers with nothing drawn on them [yet].

I'm using AutoCAD 2025, but I was having the same issue with AutoCAD 2024 as well

I'm using the LAYERPALETTE. I don't like to see the layers from the RIBBON, so I keep open the layer palette (more or less I use the same look of the Autocad for mac 2010, with layer palette and the properties on the right).
LAYERDLGMODE is set to 1.
Autocad 2025 is installed to the latest version.

I use my own filter for the layers, but the problem keeps repeating even if I remove any filter and create a new layer

Hi,
I don't know about this issue, so try different things and check out if one can change* the issue.
Same issue in 2024? But on the same PC, or?
From disable all antivirus/defender Software
to restall .net Framework
or back to ACAD:
a. Start AutoCAD in /SAFEMODE, same issue?
b. Same issue in a new file, based on acadiso/acad.dwt?
c. "When I create a new layer and give it a name (i.e Walls), it doesn't show up in the layer properties manager"
How can do you create a new Layer?
