Hi there.

please advise me on what this is and how it works.

If the screenshot doesn’t show the cursor try making a screen recording with Quick Time Player. 

 

Can you still work despite the cursor-appearance?

no, the PS workspace is just frozen. I normally just shut down all apps and restart my laptop. It seems that the software is just hanging. I did not experience this in Illustrator so far.

Can’t you just force quit Photoshop (cmd-alt-esc)? 

 

What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far? 

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Can you send a screenshot of your cursor when it's rotating colour wheel, is it looks like this?
