Cursor stays invisible after exiting Presentation mode
How to reproduce:
Create a multiple artboard document.
Enter presentation mode.
Do not move the mouse.
Use the left and right arrow keys to view all the art boards.
Note that windows will make the mouse cursor invisible since you are not using it.
Press ESC to return to normal viewing/editing mode.
Now the mouse cursor is invisible.
Work around: If you go back to presentation mode and wiggle the mouse and press ESC while the mouse is visible then the mouse will be visible in normal screen mode.

I just upgraded to WIndows 11 but experienced this on Windows 10 as well. When I look for a solution, I see that this bug goes back years - that's really bad to have a bug in your application that long.
Windows will make the cursor invisible when it's not moving, we see on every app, right. BUT changing modes in an app never blocks the cursor's visibility EXCEPT with Adobe Illustrator. I would encourage the programming team to look at why/how the application is interfering with the cursor.

The cursor gets hidden for me when I navigate artboards using keyboard, but it appears back when I press Escape, on Windows 10... I suppose something else might be in play here :/
