Cannot create or load documents, the canvas goes black/white/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.

@Hatsu Kei0000 Thanks! Disabling "GPU Performance" in Preferences worked.

If anyone has missing or hidden artboard. Just type Shift+Ctrl+H or got to the View - Show Artboard. I am using Illustrator CS6. Or if your grey (outer Artboard Area) has turned white. Then it should be Overprint Preview, to deactivate it type Alt+Shift+Ctrl+Y or Just got to View- Overprint Preview. Thank you.

Arial Bold is not correct in illustrator. The font is not arial bold, but something else. Tried to reinstall and overwrite existence file, but still getting the same thing.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. As this is not a generic issue , can you please share the system info file from Illustrator. Go to preferences->GPU Performance->Show system info . Copy paste the information and send it to sharewithai(at)adobe(dot)com.
Thanks,

I just had the same problem. Managed to solve it somehow, that's how I did it:
Go to preferences - experimental feature and then in settings click 'Enable for CMYK documents'.
This worked for me also! Nice

I have same problem, if I drag and resize the artwork window (i don't work with application frame on) it clears... no idea why. Annoying but effective

Aftie Miah's idea works but the resolution and clarity is very poor.

I have the same issue.
The work around of switching view to CPU preview works. But come on Adobe, fix this already!

Open a new document and copy and paste of assets over, then save it. That should solve the problem.

I have this issue I think it may have to do with computer memory. Usually if I close all the apps and restart the program I can then see my document.

I had same after latest update. OSX High Sierra, 13" Retina Iris Graphics. 2015.
Fixed by switching to CPU view.
Updated becaus of BUG in not exporting to SVG from last version of AI
Adobe - I gotta say - with the price you charge for your kit...and this level of complacency - you will be out of business soon enough.
