Mouse cursor disappears on Windows 11 Insider Preview

I opened Illustrator to work on a project and my mouse cursor disappears when I am in the workspace. I can't seem to get it back. It is just an illustrator issue since I can see my cursor fine in other programs.

what is the issue?

Microsoft responded quickly. There was an update yesterday (21st) that fixes the issue.

Hello @Rejein Akish,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind checking if you have an Insider Build of Windows installed (adobe.ly/3IIAIT2)? If yes, kindly try the suggestions shared here (adobe.ly/49YdWSP) to perform a clean installation of Windows, as suggested by Doug, to see if it helps.
Alternatively, try updating to the latest Insider Preview (https://adobe.ly/3VsQicH) and share your observations


Looking forward to hearing from you.


Thanks,
Anubhav

I have the same issue, and I can't work with the Adobe tools like this. No other application has this problem.

What's interesting is that it's already fixed in Photoshop. The bug is still present in the other tools.

It's an issue with that Windows version, not Illustrator. You should use a general release version of Windows until it is fixed.
