Cannot create or load documents, the canvas goes black / white / transparent / empty / transparent
Whenever I try to open a new document or a pdf or ai file the screen shows up blank white. It is not because the white part is the art-board since I tried zooming out already and it didn't work. I also tried updating illustrator and that didn't work either nor any other questions I found on here.

iMac 5k 2017 w/ Radeon Pro 580 - Illustrator very slow on GPU preview
Illustrator version 22.01
macOS 10.12.6
iMac 5k 2017 w/ i5 3,8Ghz - 16Gb RAM - 2TB Fusion - Radeon Pro 580
All the file (also a very little file) is slow on movement, on move object and run with shot and NOT fluid. Slow on select object or shape or everything on file.
The same file opened on a "slow and old" MacMini with the same configuration and the same macOS is not slow and the movement is very fluid.
Switching to CPU cause the same things, everything is very slow. Also switching to Print Preview is slow.Thanks for…

3D Extrude + Bevel = FAIL
3D extruded rendering is an absolute fail on Adobe CC 22.0.1
It's 2017 (nearly 2018) and still, Adobe can't get Illustrator to render text in 3D without undesirable results / unwanted artifacts... c'mon guys!
Let's "FUSE" the engine to make 3D type in illustrator more powerful and display more accurately without errors.
Thanks!

Layers Panel Glitch
After upgrading to Mojave OS on a mac the layers panel glitches or flashes each time I click / draw on an art board or area outside an art board.
It also happens when I manipulate the layers panel in any way, toggling visibility, opening or closing layer groups or any other operation.
This flashing is irritating and takes my eye from the work.

Zoom to Selection Doesn't Work within Text
When I zoom in on Illustrator CC (21.1.0) it works great, zooming in on the object I have selected. The problem occurs when I have a bit of text within a larger textbox selected. When I zoom in, instead of centering around the object, it zooms in on the center of my screen, often putting the selected type out of sight.
(If I have the textbox itself selected, it's fine. It's just if I'm using the type tool to select and edit type.)

Illustrator WILL NOT display art OR artboards.
How about making Illustrator useable for starters?
I pay enough for this service. I have done a full update and restart of my computer, all of my adobe products are up to date, AND I've uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator.
This is what I get when I open a new document. Show artboards is on. NOTHING comes up despite using ALL of the fixes I can find in your boards.I expect a service I drop $700 a year on to actually WORK Adobe.

Shape tools lagging and leaving mark when resizing
I just started using Illustrator CC 2018 on Windows 7. I began using some of the shape tools and started to experience an issue. Each time I go to resize a shape or move it, the shape leaves an impression of its previous size or location. I tried to uninstall Illustrator and then reinstall, yet the problem persists. If I minimize or maximize the art board the lines go away. I have also found that the smart guides don't work when re positioning the shapes.

GPU Performance stops working when enabled
Illustrator 21.1.0 (64-bit)
GPU Performance shuts off whenever I open a file. I have to close the file, turn off GPU Performance (yes, turn it OFF in preferences), then turn it ON again, then reopen my file to get it working again. I've been complaining about this for months, and Adobe has ignored my complaints. All updates including drivers have been installed and I've completely removed and reinstalled Illustrator.
