Adobe Illustrator v29 - stroke weight increase not reflected in canvas preview

Mac Studio M1 Max, 32 GB RAM, Mac OS Sequoia 15.0.1, Samsung QLED monitor, 1440 x 3440 resolution

New Document, RGB mode

Default appearance shows just a hint of a stroke as if set to .25 points, much thinner than standard 1 pt. appearance. Canvas preview does not update stroke weight appearance when increased, either in palette or in toolbar. Both system and Illustrator restarted, same behavior.

Can you show something selected with the layers panel and the appearance panel expanded?

Haha - silly me, my units defaulted to inches from pixels for my first new document. No wonder I wasn't seeing my adjustments – the canvas was set to. 1280 inches, not pixels, and I was zoomed out to 1.6% 😄 – issue solved (overworked operator error)

Good to hear you found the solution.
