After first installing Ai 2020 and hitting Cmd+N to create a new document, the modal defaults to the recents tab which is not populated yet and therefore does not offer an option or button to create a new document. Once you go to a different tab and choose a preset it will display it in recents. But for the first time it should probably default to another tab or at least offer you a button to create a new document.

Mac OS 10.14.3. I try to create a new document, several different ways. Each time I get an error message: An unknown error has occurred. I click okay to dismiss it and get the error again. I dismiss that and get an error that says : Can't create a new illustration. The command was cancelled.
This is not an idea, it's a bug.

The new file dialog will appear blank very often. I've attached a screencast to show. I do not know how to recreate this, it seems to happen eventually on every session. The only way to fix is to restart AI.

When I click Create New... it comes up with a window but it doesn't have anything on it. All that comes up is the window with the title of %CCX_FNFT_DIALOG_NAME. It is really annoying since I can't create new project.
I'm on a Window 10 running Illustrator 23.0.1.

When you click "New document" from the home screen, the dialogue box opens up but nothing appears in it. I have to use one of the 6 options on the home screen and adjust manually when inside the new document.

Not really - I updated the nvidia drivers and it didn't make a difference - the only reason I'm not experiencing the problem is that I am now working on a different machine, so the problem was never resolved (unless you advise anyone suffering this problem to replace their computer?)

Wow, good job I didn't wait for an answer. Nine months. Blimey.
I am working on a different machine now, so am not facing the issue any more. -

I updated my NVIDIA drivers and controller software. This didn't help by default but I adjust the 3D processing associated with individual programs in NVIDIA and I can get it working. I have a similar problem, fixed the same way, with After Effects. This is still an ongoing annoyance since NVIDIA doesn't appear to save my settings.

I had this problem and solved it by updating the video card driver. You cah use 3dp chip for this. I hope this helps.

This happens in all adobe CC apps, the basic start menu is blank. This is with the newest version of adboe CC. When I scroll the cursor over the blank screen it generates a pointer that would enable me to select the image which is not present. Again, this issue is in illustrator and premier pro. I have unistalled and installed CC twice to fix any install errors. this has not fixed the problems. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
