Loss of cursor

Question

I'm using WIN 11 and have just downloaded InDesign to format a book.

My cursor, which works everywhere else, does NOT appear while editing, etc.
If I press the CTRL button, it does indicate where the curser is located, but it is basically unusable since I can't see it to choose items.

I can drop it down to the bottom tool bar and see it, but when I moving it back into the program (not just the workspace) it disappears.

I am not aware of setting any particular preferences (at least yet).

I could use a little help here.

Probably the best thing to try first of all is to reset InDesign back to the factory defaults:

1) Close InDesign
2) Double click on Adobe InDesign's icon to launch it
3) QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (for Windows) or CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift (for Mac OS X)
4) When a dialogue appears, asking you “Delete InDesign Preference Files?” Click Yes.
If you don't see the question repeat the procedure again.
