No icon - can't recognise file type.
Latest build Windows 10 with Ai 23.0.1 can't recognise the file and keeps asking what to open with. Additionally the icon is missing on all ai. files.
1 votePlease reinstall Illustrator. The functionality that you are referencing comes from the Windows operating system and re-associating file types using the Windows operating system should solve the issue.

Selection tool Lagging and moving objects on click- High Sierra (macOS 10.13)
I have been an illustrator user since 2000.
After this most recent update I noticed that when I use the Selection Tool (V) . The item, image, line, vector group, no matter what I click, begins to lag and then automatically jumps to the location of my mouse, Thought I simply clicked the item to select it and then moved my mouse, not clicked and dragged. The object reacts as though I clicked and dragged, so I am forced to select an object, let the bug run it's course, and then hit cmd +Z to undo the unintentional move.

V23.0.1 Unable to drag artwork from Illustrator to PowerPoint and be able to ungroup the artwork.
Yesterday I was able to drag and drop my artwork from Illustrator to PowerPoint and ungroup the artwork. Today after I updated my Illustrator software I can't do this. The drag and drop places an uneditable image.

graph
When changing data in the graph data panel, it's changing the style of the graph itself. I'm used to the graph tool being rubbish, but this is now applying a gradient swatch to all the axis lines when it was previous set to no colour.

Illustrator 2018 Crashes
I have Surface Studio, 32 Gig, Windows 10. Today I installed the CC Updates and now Illustrator crashes every 2 or 3 minutes. I uninstalled Illustrator and reinstalled it, but the crashes continue. Finally in desperation I uninstalled Illustrator 2018 and reinstalled Illustrator 2017. At least now Illustrator is stable.
I sure would like to know what to do to fix the problem. You know it wouldn't be a bad idea if one could reach support with install problems.

Autosave disables itself
Windows 10, AI CC (latest release)
Autosave disables itself. When AI crashes - as it does - I get nothing.
I set auto-save for every 2 minutes in preferences. Then, after Illustrator crashes, I go back in to preferences to find it has unchecked that option. Nothing. I lose a load of work.
There are no expletives for how I feel about this. PLEASE sort it out?

Expanded shapes get an additional redundant anchor point
Example:
1. Draw a square with a stroke set to the inside or outside (doesn't matter which as long as the stroke isn't centred)
2. Expand the square and instead of the 8 anchor points you would expect the compound shape to have, the expanded square has 10 anchor points.
The top right corners have 2 anchor points each, created directly on top of each other.This happens with ANY shape with corners and a stroke that isn't centred.
You can't see the extra anchor point directly because it is in exactly the same location as the correct anchor point.

Pathfinder works wrong
I have an ellipse with radial fill and I want it to be partially cropped by rectangle.
I select both rectangle with no fill, intersecting my circle, and apply Divide from Pathfinder.
I expect middle part to have gradient, positioned as uncut circle, but it becomes clear.
If i swap order of these objects, middle part has gradient, but AI resets it's position.

Zoom to mouse location
Prevously when you zoom with the Mouse (magic Mouse 2) it would zoom to the location of the pointer. Now it seems to just zoom to a random point. I move the mouse pointer and it still zooms to the random point. I want to hover my mouse somewhere and then zoom to that position like previous.

CC2018 Illustrator Multiply with CMYK colors and Windows 10 Fall Creators update (solid color)
The latest Windows 10 update (Fall Creators) bugs out the Illustrators Multiply option when in CMYK setting. The Multiply option becomes a solid color instead of transparant and reacting with bottom color. When converting to RGB it works as intended and photoshop for example shows correct multiply in CMYK.
current solution: revert back to older version of windows 10.

Adobe Illustrator has found an error it can't correct
How do I deal with the Adobe Illustrator error message "Adobe Illustrator has found an error it can't correct"? It shows up for one Illustrator file but not others. Why does it give me this pop up every time?
I'm running Win10 64-bit.

Unselctable and undo glitch
When I go to select a shape or text item sometimes the bounding box disappears. Even when I go to show bounding box (command + Shift + B) the issue isn't resolved. I don't do anything different and it seems to happen randomly. I have to restart illustrator to fix it but sometimes that doesn't.
Once the bounding box disappears I cannot track the type and if I move an item it goes back to its org place.
Additionally, when I hit undo rather than going back one action it will go back 4 or 5 actions. This only happens…

Overprint black does not record in action in CC2018
In CS6 it was possible to record the properties of the Edit > Edit Colors > Overprint Black command into an action.
In CC2018 (22.1) this is no longer possible and would appear to be a bug.

Illustrator crashes for no reason multiples times a day
While using the latest (up to date) version of illustrator CC 2018 on my macbook pro (High Sierra 10.13.1) I get constant crashes on illustrator, forcing me to restart the computer as it freezes and does not recover. These are a few of the instances when this has occured:
- Changing between an Indesign open window and a Illustrator open window/document.
- Zooming in/out.
- Pasting copied objects from another open illustrator project.
- Moving an object inside a canvas.
- Creating new canvas in an open document.
-- and the list goes onI use my mac always connected…
