Clicking the Select Tool Deselects Itself

[Brad33137040hsxg]

Hey All,

When I click the Selection tool from the toolbar, it immediately deselects itself. Now, I can use the 'V' key just fine. The other behaviour that happens when I click the Selection tool is that it minimizes the Illustrator app to the top of the screen. Again, all other toolbar buttons/icons appear to be fine.

Version: 28.0

My Machine:

Troubleshooting Attempted:

Checked for Logitech updates (Keyboard & Mouse) - I'm on the latest

Closed all apps.

This just started happening since I updated to Illustrator 2024. Has anyone experienced this?

Did you reset the preferences?

Which preferences? In Illustarator? Would you mind posting how you get there to reset them?

There are a couple of methods. One of them being when making the update.
