Illustrator v25.1 - Not saving
AI v25.1 on Win10 Pro (BOTH programs have had the most recent updates).
Whether opening a previous file or creating a new one, not being able to save said file(s) as .AI in any version.
Consistently get the error "This file cannot be found" (see attached).
Again, see attached.
Anyone else having the same?
Any suggestions?
Thanks, BGunn

Same issue starting today. I did find a somewhat helpful workaround on the Adobe Support Community where it is mentioned to save the document as an SVG, open the SVG and then save it to AI again.
Worked for me. Only downside is that if you work with multiple layers you'll now have one layer with the previously created layers as groups inside. You'll have to release these back to layers and rename all layers again. Works, but time-consuming...
Hope it helps. Here's also the link to the community entry:
