Stuck on Hand Tool

[Natalie25960903ok8y]

I am stuck on the hand tool in Illustrator. No matter what tool I click on, I am stuck on the hand tool. the spacebar has nothing to do with the problem. 

I've tried doing everything on this site:

Yet nothing seems to be working. 
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello Natalie25960903ok8y,

Sorry to hear about this experience. I would request you try rebooting your computer in Safe Mode (Windows) (macOS) and then relaunch Illustrator to check if it helps. If it works, there might be a third-party program interfering, and you might need to disable/uninstall it. You may try contacting your IT support for help with it.

Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks,

Anubhav
