Star tool missing from Illustrator

[defaulti03retfytw98]

Hi I'm working on a PC and it won't give me the option to draw a star tool.  The only tools I can access seems to be the rectangle tool and the elipse tool.  I have tried clicking on the three dots at the bottom of the tool bar and the rest of tool menu comes up but no other shapes are highlighted or have a letter by them so I can't select them. Can anyone help? Be very grateful. Thanks!

Hi there,

Sorry about this trouble. Please select Advance toolbar from  Window > Toolbars > Advance and let us know if that shows all the tools.

If that doesn't help, try resetting Illustrator Preferences (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html).
Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and Illustrator will launch with default settings. You can also take a backup of the folders in case you want to. Location is mentioned in the article.

Please feel free to reach out if you still need assistance, we'd be hapy to help.

Regards,

Srishti
