  1. Recent file shows correct file but opens up as older version

    Hi there,

    I am using Illustrator 25.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro.

    When I open Illustrator and look into the 'recent' panel I see the document I was working on yesterday with all the changes I made (picture 1), but when I click on it, it opens what seems to be an older version of the document and all the changes I made during the day yesterday just disappear (photo2, note the few pages and other changes not showing).

  4. Illustrator crash dialogue on fresh relaunch

    Windows 10
    Illustrator 25.2.1

    Illustrator crashed over 5 days ago. Ever since, whether I close Illustrator properly or not, I receive the "Adobe Illustrator quit unexpectedly" dialogue box every time I open the app.

  5. .AI files won't open after latest update (25.2.1)

    Updated to version 25.2.1 a few days ago and now I can't get any .AI files to open without going straight to file>open.

    Getting tired of dealing with a different issue every time this software updates.

  7. バックグラウンドプロセスが消えない

    1.バージョン
    windows10 pro ,V25.2

    2.問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    2-1.一度ダブルクリックでファイルを開きます。
    2-2.保存せず、Illustratorを終了します。
    2-3.再びダブルクリックでファイルを開きます。

    3.想定していた結果
    Illustratorが起動して、ファイルが開ける。

    4.実際の結果
    「Illustratorの前回のセッションは、まだプロセスを終了していません。ほとんどの場合、プロセスはバックグラウンドで実行されています。しばらく待ってからもう一度お試しください。」というダイアログが出て開けない。ファイルを開かず起動のみ試みても同様。

    今までこういう症状はなかったので、バグとして報告します。

  9. Illustrator öffnet nicht richtig

    Betriebssystem: MacOS Version 11.0.1
    Ai: Version: 25.2

    Nach dem Öffnen von Illustrator (auch InDesign) erscheint nur das schwarze Feld und nicht die sonstige Bedienoberfläche. Auch das Öffnen mancher Dateien ist nicht möglich. Außerdem kann ich weder in Illustrator noch in InDesign eine neue Datei erstellen.

  12. Font agent 9.6.1

    OS 10.13.6 High Sierra [don't want to upgrade OS yet]
    Illustrator 24.3
    Every time I open a file I get an error messgae saying that my 2015 plug ins need upgrading. Click to upgrade. I don't have 2015 plug ins. Suggestion from font agent is to upgrade Illustrator, can't do that as I don't want to upgrade OS.
    Solution dismiss error message every time, really tedious.
    What else can I do?

    I just paid for, and downloaded a new illustrator app three days ago and it's already not working, when I opened the app this morning it asked to verify me, so I added my email, password , it asked for phone number, verified that , no problem. Yet, once it was all done , a blank window with a loading symbol kept popping up every 4 seconds or so for hours, when I try to close the windows my entire app shuts down, I tried everything there is.. but I can't even uninstall the app. I'm really helpless here and…

  17. Illustrator freezes as soon as it opens

    Each time I try to open the program it freezes as soon as it launches. The screen will load, but remains unresponsive.
    I'm on a windows computer that runs far more demanding programs than this without issue.

  20. Suddenly I can't seem to open or create new files in Illustrator.

    when I tried to launch and run my ai files and trying to create new files, the application will just hang and nothing happens. I've uninstalled and re-install but the problem is still the same. It was still working fine 2 days ago. I need a solution fast because I have deadlines to meet!
