Drop Shadows and Outer Glows not working right
Upgraded to v30 (64 bit) Drop shadows do not generate or display properly- they are either missing or show sharp edges even with a high fade. Both Drop Shadows and Outer Glow effects take a very long time to render and often lock up the program or Windows (Win11) completely so a reboot is needed. This is happening on relatively simple objects of a small size, I use these effects a lot and never had a problem with it like this before, even with large complex objects. There is something in the newest version of Illustrator which is causing the problem, I hope is is patched soon as it is killing my workflow

Richard, please share some screenshots at least (preferably a video), a test file (try to zip it before attaching, UserVoice has some temporary problems with attaching .ai-documents), your full OS and GPU specifications, the settings defined in your Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings dialog (the resolution should make sense for your media and the Add Around Object should be large enough to fit your blur value chosen).
If the site fails to allow you attach these, please send it all directly to the team via sharewithai@adobe.com, and mention the link to the report, so they can track it back here — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50668040 -
Need a fix soon- I have spent over a day on trying to create something that normally only takes 20 minutes since the bug is locking up my system repeatedly
