Invisible mouse cursor problem (Never seen before)

Hi community,

 

I updated my windows 11 today, I'm using Windows 11 home insider preview, and currently updated to Build 26080.ge_release.240308-1400

Illustrator was working perfectly until this morning. Today, I formatted my computer because of an error that I have never encountered anywhere before or on the internet. Just reinstalled all programs on creative cloud, but Illustrator is same. THERE IS NO MOUSE CURSOR ON WORKING AREA. Also, when I move the cursor to clickable areas on the home page, the cursor suddenly disappears. I tried all recovery options. System restore, installing another version of Illustrator, resetting preferences, finally resetting Windows. Currently the cursor disappears in Illustrator. Do I have to wait for a new windows update? Other programs do not have this problem. 

This is how I currently use the computer to see where the cursor is. It's really annoying.WhatsApp Image 2024-03-14 at 21.18.31.jpeg

And this started happening after you formatted the disk?

So you have a special setting for your mouse or even a system plugin?

 

Can you set that to normal? Does it still happen?

It makes no sense putting that information in here. The engineers need it in Uservoice. Please put it there.

It does make sense b/c others that have the same system will know there's an issue. 😉

There is a uservoice issue raised for this here:
Unfortunately we don't have answers yet, but it would be helpful if you added your vote and post any system or Illustrator version information there.

Hello @ReyJ45, @IaMMaI,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. The Windows 11 26080 build is a Canary/Dev build (https://adobe.ly/49U7PPA), and these builds can be unstable and are released with limited to no documentation (https://adobe.ly/3IEKvcI).


To get off the Canary or Dev Channel, a clean install of Windows 11 will be required.

If the problem persists, kindly share more details, like the System Info (Help>System Info) from Illustrator, the Microsoft System Information report (https://adobe.ly/3v47gUh) or macOS System Report (https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/syspr35536/mac#:~:text=View%20a%20system%20report), and a screen recording of the problem, so we can investigate this further.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

I made a clean install, but it set up 26080 version as default. So, nothing changed. Now I'm using a little crosshair from Powertoys until the next windows update.

Adobe Audition has same problem, too. But you can use it like this. Illustrator is impossible. Only a crosshair can solve this problem

Of course not, we have to wait new windows update. But, there is some hack about it. You can use the program with a little crosshair. Just install Powertoys and create a crosshair on your mouse cursor. In the Illustrator, mouse cursor will be invisible again, but you can do your work with a crosshair 🙂
