Version 24.2.1 Crashes at Launch
I am working on a MacBook and updated to version 24.2.1. It functioned for several days and now crashes at launch. I uninstalled the application and re-installed it, but get the same result. I keep version 23.1.1 on my computer, and it works, but of course I can not open any version 24.2.1 files.

Artborads erased and layers grouped when opening a file, Illustrator 2020
Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1), Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6
Whenever I close a file with multiple artboards and multiple layers, and re-open it, all artboards but one are erased (and renamed to "Artboad1"), and all my layers are grouped into one single layer.
Even when I fix the file, and save it, the next time I open it, the same thing happens.

After latest update, Illustrator opens and is half off-screen. It is frozen there and can't be moved or resized, and menus are often missing
It would be great if the program would open and actually be usable. With half of the program off-screen, and being unable to move or resize it, I can't get my work done.

Static screen
Can you fix the new update of adobe illistrator? I can't use it. Every time I try to create a new file it shows the lines of something similar to a static screen and I'm not able to use it for anything. I really need to be able to use this program for college.

Illustrator CC v23.0.1 STILL not showing files that were opened by launching program
This has been an issue that I've experienced for well over a year now and was reported to have been fixed with version 23.0.1, but I updated to that version several months ago and am still to this day experiencing this issue. If you don't already have Illustrator open and launch the program by double-clicking an AI file (or choosing "Edit in Adobe Illustrator" when right-clicking on a link in InDesign), the document in question does not appear to be open and additional attempts to open said file result in either nothing or a dialog box telling you the file…

Illustrator CC 2019 (v23.0.3) will not open files and immediately crashes when trying to do so.
I've been trying to work on both .ai and .eps files in Illustrator but it won't open them. It just crashes immediately when trying to do so. Is this a common occurrence with this version? Is there a new update coming soon?
This is an issue that is hindering work severely. I would appreciate anyone's insight on this.

Opening and previewing files
After launch, Illustrator appears to mix documents/archives. For instance, I have an .ai and a .jpg file. Each one's preview appears switched. When opened, both show the same object.
Illustrator also shows an erros doing undo, often skipping several steps and reseting the document close to its previously saved/original version.
