Same problem here. It worked fine yesterday and even today for most of the day. At the evening tho it started to crash repeadetly more-less 15 seconds after opening any project (or even only "blank" Illustrator). This is serious because Illustrator is my main "tool" as a DTP operator. I am using Adobe products since forever and i didnt had any big problems, until now...

Adding a comment to the below as I am experiencing the same issue = AI closing/crashing within 10 seconds of opening or opening a file. No message - just vanishes. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, cleaned Creative Cloud.... restarted, shut down.... every possible machination of trying to fix this. PLEASE HELP!!

This is not completed as was marked by Ashutosh Chaturvedi more than two months ago. This is an ongoing problem that frustrates paying customers. I've been using Illustrator for 26 years and I have never been more dissatisfied with Adobe.

Definitely not fixed or completed. I started encountering this issue today.

PLZ DO SOMETHING ABOBE!

My AI starts to crash and quit today. After I open it, it crashed in 30 sec.
I restarted computer, not working.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it, not working.
It's driving me crazy, please fix it.
It worked well yesterday, I don't know what's going on.

PLS HELP ME I NEED TO WORK!!!!

I have the same problem! Please fix this ASAP

Hey ADOBE FIX YOUR ISSUE! It has been WEEKS, I have to have my work crash on me all the time???? What are your priorities?

not able to update to 23.0.1
manually went to check for updates and came back saying that the software is up to date yet it's will 23.0...

This update did NOT fix my massive lag when using and editing text boxes.

Totally not fixed - I'm running the latest update and just lost hours of work. very frustrating

Adobe when you start caring about code optymization and performance?! Your approach to the customer is ****## up!

CC 2019 on Mbp 2018 work like on 10 year PC! CC 2018 have much better performance.

So many issues with this update. Y’all need to get it together.

I have the same problem! Plz fix the big issue!

On 23.1 and still cannot use AI. Is there a real fix for this? @Todd, did Apple get your iCloud working again?

@AshutoshChatuvedi, I have a problem with Illustrator ver 23.0.1 eating up CPU memory, used older versions , remove and installed but still persists. how can I fix this problem?

@AshutoshChatuvedi, you have to stop constantly copying and pasting the same non-sense response for something that in no way has been fixed.

I have watched in multiple forums how you keep repeating yourself. PLEASE STOP.

DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE.

Adobe help us! Same issues here and I’m using the latest software 23.0.1

Hoping going back to 22 will work...
