  2. freeze app

    Freeze illustrator app (2023) always when I lauch the app first time after launch windows 10.

    current temporary solution is
    1) Freeze illustrator during launch (No response condition)
    2) Close the app by task manager or any relevant method
    3) Click illustrator again then select whichever the choice to open ( "Run Diagnostics" or "launch illustrator")
    4) Normally open the app
    5) After close the app, situation is the same from step1

    Already tried to uninstall the app and reinstall but situation doesn't change.

  5. Illustrator 27.2 se me cierra inesperadamente minutos después de abrirlo (Windows 10)

    ¿Alguien sabe por qué se me cierra Illustrator 2023 (v 27.2) inesperadamente?
    Pocos minutos después de abrirlo se cierra sin marcar ningún error o ventana que informe el porqué y es el único programa que lo hace.
    Tengo Windows 10 :D

  6. Program closes when opening documents or creating new ones!

    HELP PLEASE! Ilustrator starts but it doesn´t allow me to open any document nor create a new one, it closes and doesn´t give me any error code. It´s been a week now and a can´t find a way to solve it. i have tried 27.5 version and many others like 26.5, 26 and the problem continues.

    I´ve tried reseting preferences, upgrading and downgrading versions, reinstalling and this keeps happening.

    Photoshop, after effects and all other programs work perfectly fine.

    Drivers, graphics and controllers don´t seem to solve nothing either.

  7. Slow opening of Illustrator.

    I have had the following problem for a few years now (therefore different versions of Illustrator, let's say from 2020-2023).

    When I start Illustrator, opening the first (I specify the first) document that is an Empty table or an already existing document that Ai takes an exaggerated amount of time! Then, after this step, the other documents are opened in normal times.
    This happens to me from different versions of the software, and it also happens if I close the software and restart it to open a document, or if I start Ai after restarting my computer.

    the hardware is…

  9. ツールウィンドウが消える

    Macでイラレ、フォトショ、インデザを使用しています。
    バージョンが新しくなってから起動するたびにワークスペースに表示しているツールのウィンドウが消えます。ワークスペースを保存していますが、一度別のに切り替えてから自分用のスペースを読みこないと戻ってきません。面倒くさくて仕方ないので修正してください。

  11. Illustrator don't work after Mac OS update

    I'm using mac mini m1 with the latest Ai CC update (26.4.1). But after the OS update (12.5.1) I can't get Ai to work, it stuck at startup screen, cant click to any menu or button (video included). I had to roll back to 25.1 (intel) version to continue my works. What should I do?

  13. Illustrator auto-close when opening an .ai file

    It closes automatically when I open an .AI file, whether I double-click the file or open it from the illustrator menu.

    I already reinstalled illustrator and the problem continues.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2.3 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  20. illustratorの年間契約の期限内にも関わらず、使用できなくなっている。

    illustratorの期限内にも関わらず、使う事ができない状態が続いている。起動しても、体験版を勧められる。Creative Cloud desk topでは、illustratorの新たな購入すらできない。Adobeのアプリとファイルを消したにも関わらず、何も改善されなかった。
