Since the last update my cursor isn't showing the selected tool (just now I was using the pen tool, but the cursor was showing the hand tool) and was hoping this latest update I ionstalled today would fix it, but no. Restarting my computer and/or reinstalling Illustrator doens't fix it. Well, reinstalling Illustrator fixed it for about an hour, but then it went right back to it.
Hello

Also, if your computer is running macOS, try disabling Dictation and share your observations.
Looking forward to your response.

What version of OS & Illustrator are you using? Make sure they are compatible with each other.
Illustrator system requirements
Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner to fully remove your app & prefs then reinstall, as it sounds like a corrupted pref.
Update any Illustrator plug ins.
