Free Transform Gradient Not Working

Hello! I’ve been encountering this issue with Illustrator whenever I make a gradient--this only happens with the Free Transform Gradient. When I click on the Free Transform Gradient, all of the points do not fill-in and doesn’t make the gradient at all. It’s only appears blank. I’ve tried Rasterizing it to see if it would work, but it still doesn’t fill. I even made sure that the gradient isn’t applied to the stroke. I’ve also restarted my computer multiple times and still nothing. Can someone please let me know how to fix this? Thank you so much!
