Cursor invisible after exiting presentation mode

[Leosblues]

As the title says, after viewing my project in presentation mode and exiting it by pressing esc, my cursor disappears. But it only goes invisible, stuff still highlights and such when hovered over it but I cannot see where my cursor is (aka the pointing triangle thing) unless it is hovering above an interactable button/object. This has happened multiple times since updating to Illustrator 2025, happens more often when I enter presentation mode AND use the arrow keys to navigate between artboards and only way I've been able to fix it is by shutting down the program and re-launching it. Does anyone also have this issue? Any tips on how to fix it?

Hello @Leosblues,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. I tried replicating this on my end but could not. Would you mind trying to run Illustrator after rebooting your computer in Safe Mode (Windows / macOS) and checking if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
