Help! The black cursor doesn't work since updating to 29.2.

Recently I updated Illustrator 2025 to the new 29.2 version. Since that day I can't use the program. Most of it works just fine, but my black cursor is useless. At this point it does the same as the white cursor. This means that my artwork never has a Bounding Box. I can't scale, drag or change my work without completly transforming it. I already tried 'restore bounding box' and restarted the whole application, but nothing seems to work. I have no problems in Illustrator 2024, so I will use that for now. 

 

Are there more people with this issue? Can I fix this? Thanks in advance.
