Looks like you clicked Unite instead of Minus Front.

i'm clicking minus front

Try again after restarting your machine. If that does not help try resetting the Preferences manually:

i already tried that as well, even re-installing the software, didn't fix

Maybe show in a movie the exact steps you take?

Please open the group with your circle in the layers panel (click on the small arrow). Please show a screenshot.

Or ungroup the group in which the circle is located. Is there really only the circle alone as a compound path?

I am afraid you have forgotten one of the first steps: Change the fill to NONE (your circle must not have a fill colour).
