Problem with the Cursor in the New 2018 CC Update

Question

While I'min the middle of finals for school, I can't seem to use photoshop for my classes because the cursor seems to be stuck on the hand. NOT THE HAND TOOL, just a hand cursor that you would usually see when you go online and certain sites have a hand cursor for you to select things. It's weird because the program seems to do this to all new projects I make, projects I make through photoshop and from going back and forth with Sketchbook Pro, and Illustrator, it seems to have it stuck on this cursor, I can't select brushes, type, and every other tool there is. It won't let me use them on the canvas.

Another odd thing that happened was that I reinstalled the last program, the 2017 CC version, and its doing the same thing! What is going on! I need this fixed or I'm going to fail my classes because it won't let me do my projects.

Hi LarissaI echo the advice from Mohammad.Harb.You may also want to try to reset your preferences. It doesn't delete your work, it just resets the program. Shutting down Photoshop or even shutting down your computer does not reset Photoshop. I reset my prefs any time Photoshop misbehaves and it usually resolves the issues. *If you have changed your Workspace: Keyboard, Toolbars, Menu Options, then save your workspace before quitting Photoshop. To save and manage Workspaces: Adobe Photoshop workspace basicsTo reset your Preferences File : Preferences in PhotoshopPlease let us know if this resolves your issue.
