Center smart guide missing

Hello, 

I've been trying to get this to work for quite a while now and can't seem to find any way for it to appear, I updated my illustrator to the latest version of it on 09/08/2025 and somehow, the smart guides lost the center point on them and I can't easily center my objects/groups anymore, I've tried meddling with smat guide preferences, snap to point/grid, attributes and nothing. It used to show on the previous version but once this update hit it looks like it dissapeared.

Is there a way to toggle it back on or to bring it back? It's driving me crazy and I would really appreciate some help.

 

Thank you,

Is the centre point on in the attributes panel for the selected objects?

It is on but it only creates a center point for each individual object within the group and not for the selected group's center.

Has it ever done that? I do not see a separate center point for a group in the 2023 and 2024 versions.
