Selection tool works like the Direct Selection Tool
I cannot use the Selection Tool because it works like the Direct Selection Tool, therefor I cannot scale or move any objects on my artboards.
I have tried the workaround to change settings in preferences, but the problem still persists.
I have a Windows Desktop:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
32GB DDR4 RAM
Radeon RX550/550 Series
1TB SSD
Illustrator CC 2025 (V29.3)
Marulani Fibiger

Try selecting View > Show Bounding Box from the menu.

Does it only act like it, or does the cursor also look like the white arrow?
What tool do you have active in the tool panel when you try?What happens if you try to hold Ctrl key with the tool active — does it toggle between normal and Direct modes?
Do you see resize handles for the selected object? What happens if you try to toggle the bounding box with Ctrl+Shift+B?
Can you please record the problem on video or into a small GIF?
