In Illustrator 25.1.0 object and text center points are not visible in outline mode. This has nothing to do with hiding edges.

Using GPU at 100% a tiny dot is visible, zooming out it becomes more and more like the centerpoint from previous versions. Zoom above 100% and the tiny dot disappears.

What exactly do you mean?

Selected or not?
Smart guides on or of?
Your setting in Attribute Panel?

center point off - selected

center point on - selected

center point on - deselected

center point on - selected

(hovering with) mouse pointer over the center point while Smart Guides are activated

Hi Nicky,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing the version of the OS? Does it happen while working on a specific file or all? This information would help us look into it & assist you accordingly.

Ashutosh - The Illustrator version is 25.1.0. The newest version. The center anchor points for objects and type are no longer visible in outline mode unless selected. Until this version they have always been visible unselected.
