Illustrator Paths Automatically Filled Black Despite No Color Selection
In the past few days Illustrator has given me trouble: as you can see in the picture i get a black filling on any path I create even if no color is selected!
I have just uninstalled and re-downloaded the illustrator app from my creative cloud (version 29.3.1) but it didn't solve the problem.
I can't work this way.
Any suggestions?

Clara, do you still have the problem?
If yes — does this happen in any file, including new ones, or in a specific one?
If a specific one, please open Layers panel, create a new layer and check if the same thing happens in this new layer.
If no — check if the round marker next to the name of the layer that has the problem is filled or hollow.
If it’s filled — it means at some point you targeted the layer by clicking this target marker (no, it’s not Select All in Layer button) and assigned appearance that now affects all artwork in a layer.
Target the layer again by clicking the marker, open Appearance panel and click Clear Appearance button at its bottom.
If you ever need to select all in layer, press a spot right to the Target marker instead, where square markers appear.If it’s not the case at all — please share more details on this.
