I have the same problem - im working on a brand new Macbook Pro - this is the only file currently on this laptop so memory isn't an issue. I am also working with a Radeon Pro 560x Graphics card yet the problem still occurs.

I was thinking about difference between my workstation in my work and at home. Only difference is that i am on cable connection at work and Im using Wifi at home. I disabled Wifi and Illustrator opened in normal way. I opened project and did some stuff and it havent crashed. I even reenabled Wifi.
It works fine now.
But if I reopen it with enabled Wifi it will crash again...
In other words - disable wifi for opening Illustrator, then you can enable it and work just like every other day. Stupid solution but it works :)
It still needs an update tho, it cant be like that all the time.

Cuurently running Adobe Illustrator v.23.01: crashed during lengthy operation on 35MB-size file; will not reopen (crashes after splash screen); restart doesn't correct problem; unable to use app at all.

Stable program now beginning to crash immediately on open. This issue is also affecting ID files with any linking .ai files.

Also experiencing this issue just now, tried every "fix"or solution previously mentioned and suggested. We await your solution, Adobe!

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.
