Both issues occur as a result of unfinished module enumeration, any module related operations will fail because the symbols are not recognized yet.

When we start cheat engine, module enumeration is performed in a background thread, since we are using dma, it is slower. It usually takes 10 - 30 seconds depending on the process. You can manually prioritize this task by clicking memory view -> view -> enumerate dlls and symbols.

After you see the modules are listed, all these issues should disappear. Where you click on a selected address tab to generate pointermap/perform pointer scan does not matter (If module enumeration is not complete, clicking anywhere is not gonna work).

I'll leave this issue open as a reference for other users who share the same problem.
