I'm running the latest version of PS (v25.1) in Windows 10, with the latest Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 driver and the latest Nvidia Quaddro driver.  I've just started having the problem of my brush flickering between the normal circle cursor and the pointer arrow.  There are some old posts about this problem.  The solutions had to do with third party plugins.  However, I haven't installed any third party plugin since long before this problem appeared.  The brush paints properly, but the flickering is very annoying.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I seem to have responded to a lot of Wacom related threads in the last week, and one I know put his issue down to a recent driver update.  He rolled back and everything was fine.  Intermittant problems are obviously a paint to troubleshoot.  It's almost like you want the issue to play up to give you a chance  of fixing it.

    I've been having similar problems on my M1 Mac Studio, in Illustrator and Photoshop, and not just with the Brush tool, but pretty much any tool... regular Selection Tool (V), Type tool, etc. Sometimes it just goes away, but then it comes back... still haven't been able to figure this out... super annoying!!!   (Gif attached.)  If anyone has a solution for this, please restore my sanity.  I contacted Adobe Support a couple times about this, but they ended up pretty much just wiped my preferences, etc... but doesn't matter.... the problem returns again and again. 😒

    Same problem here which is 'sort of' fixed in 25.1 but the precise cursor still disappears when using quick mask and paintbrush. Still flickering and disappearing..

    I think we've seen a few similar posts in the past few days, so it's interesting that you are correlating it directly to 25.1.  Do you have the beta version installed, and does it work   OK on that version if you have tried it?

    Does the Cintiq Pro 24 connect to a PC or is it stand alone?  If the latter is it Mac or Windows and what OS version are you using?

     

    Do you know if you are using Wintab or Windows Ink?
