P: Can't see brush circle when I go into Select and Mask

I updated Photoshop Beta today. I'm not sure if it's a Beta update issue because it was working fine the whole day until like an hour ago. Suddenly, when I go into Select and Mask, I'm not able to see the brush circle. I only see my mouse. 

The quick selection tool, refine edge brush tool, the brush tool all work when I click the mouse. I just don't see any circle around my mouse. I tried hitting the Caps Lock key, turned Photoshop on and off, turned my computer on and off, resetted all preferences, but the issue still remains. 

Am I the only one having this issue?

I too have gone back to the previous version so that my program works.  Now, how do I get rid of the "update available" box at the top of the screen?

When I enter 'Select and Mask' and go to refine the edge using the refine edge brush, I get a black arrow cursor, not the usual brush cursor. I was there in the last beta version – but is gone now. I tried restarting etc.

I have just responded to another thread with the same issue, and I have the same problem here, so it might be an idea to do it all in the the one thread

That's interesting.  I was sorting out a screen shot to help ask for more information, and I also have no brush cursor.

This is only with the beta version, and since today's update.  Does that tally with your situation?

I am also using Windows, 11 in my case. 

 

[EDIT]  I see we are already in the beta foruum.
