Why are anchor points missing in Illustrator CC2018?

[scottmosher]

After upgrading, its one issue after another, but here's a major one.

My anchor points are missing and they only show up when I mouse over the object or hold down the COMMAND, or Hold down the COMMAND SPACE BAR (zoom) - what happened to the good old days when I have the SHOW EDGES option on And the ACTUAL EDGES remain visible.  The first picture is what I'm getting at all times. I'm looking to have the edges shown at all times... the second picture is like it was in the good old times, when the edges were shown at all times if one had the 'show edges' option on. I also went through the preferences. TO no avail. Any help on this would be appreciated.

You saved me! Thanks a lot! Command+H unhide all anchor points and guidelines.

Command H - Thank you!!!! I had a nightmare hour where my anchor points went mising. I thought it was the 2020 update - until I read this thread.

YES! This fixed it, thank you! I was so used to using Command H to hide other Apps, I forgot I did this in Illustrator and then had this issue - very frustrating but simple to resolve, once you realise!

Oh! thank you for finding that! I used the above methods but still didn't work.

Now with ctrl H on Win it is back!

Thanks a lot for this. I just started using Illustrator and for a moment, this was a nightmare. I had been using CorelDraw for my vector work since 2011

I've never used Command-H. The invisibility cloak just suddenly appeared out of blue. At least to my knowledge. 

[Doug A Roberts]

Was it solved using Command+H, or the preferences option described by Kurt Gold?

YOURE THE REAL ANSWER! NOT THAT ANCHOR POINTS.
ITS EDGES.

I was wondering why I couldn't adjust anchor points without going through all the transform tools with my mouse and so glad that I saw this comment. Lol thanks for helping a student make it much easier to finish his asignment for the weekend lol!!
