Star tool missing from Illustrator

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!
