Small cursor in Ilustrator

Question

Hello, new to Illustrator and this is my first posting so apologies for my lack of knowledge. I am having an issue with the curser! It's really crazy !! if I move mouse pointer on a tool it doesn't have any problem but whenever I move it on art board it becomes too small that I loose it sometimes and it keeps suffering me.

If there's anything to do I'll be really apreciating your help

I'm using Adobe Illustrator 2020 - windows 10 professional on laptop (Asus G552 vw)

There are settings in Illustrator preferences to enlarge the UI.

There are also settings in your system to change the look of the UI.

Can you please check how you set up both?

And maybe the settings are colliding.

Change your screen resolution down to 1920 × 1080. When CS6 was designed, that was the most common acreen resolution, and Adobe didn't code in any re-scaling tools.

Change it back when you're done using Illustrator, and Bob's your uncle.

I had started a subscription to Illustrator CC, and got way beyond frustrated with the way it wouldn't play nice with my really good Wacom pad. NONE of the fixes here on the forums worked, so I went back to CS6 and had this problem.

Changed the screen resolution, and Illustrator works well.

Adobe, you've now lost my subscription money for Illustrator CC...
