    I've tried to update twice, and both times have had to revert back to a previous version because Illustrator won't open and then eventually crashes. I'm thinking your stability fixes didn't work too well, lol. Please release another update soon!

    Since the update I cannot open Illustrator.  On Windows 10 with all apps current, when I try to open it, I get an hourglass for about 5 seconds then nothing.  The task manager shows it but nothing.   I uninstalled, cleaned the registry, rebooted and reinstalled.  It opened one time then the problem occurs. 

     

    This is NOT good!

    This update loads up Illustrator and 2 mins it just crashes. 

     

    • I tried reinstalling
    • Tried previous versions which don't even work 
    • Reinstalling the Creative Cloud
    • Tried Pre-release and Beta 
    • Did a system restore point

    Sorry, this illustrator is full of bugs still AGAIN... But still with one very serious fault, bug. EXTREME SERIOUS BUG

    Vectorised letters get messed up when copied.
    It costed my company already hundred thousands euro's of damages to clients.

    Every text vectorised or what ever, gets totally messed up when copied and pasted, points are added etc.
    Please see the image in this message to see clearly what i mean.
    Nothing solves it, magenitic snap points off/on , ancer points off/on, retaining format off or on  etc.. It doesn't work.

    And again , this realy is a very serious error from Adobe.
    Please Imagin, i made 6 brochures and 40 packages with this now  where all 'O's and G's and more letters are totally out of alinment and messed up beyond recognision of a being a letter or type.

    Illustartor won't open after this update. I've uninstalled twice, rebooted, logged out of the CC app, and still nothing. Highly frustrating.

    The Adobe Illustrator updates from version 25.0 to 26.0 - 26.02 are Not Good. These updates are creating temporary (T File) files when you Save instead of actual (AI) Adobe Illustrator file formats. The problem has caused me to lose work I spend hours creating and valuable time. This has been happening for the last few weeks.
    The works I created in version 25.0 are stable and able to be opened and edited without the creation of multiple temporary files (T File).

     

    Today, I got so frustrated, that I reverted to re-installing Illustrator V25 in an effort to continue working. I hope this work around continues to be effective. Can someone from the Adobe Illustrator team fix this problem with V26.0 for real this time. Why did the Adobe Illustrator team push a version update that was not stable?

    Hello, I just wanted to let you know that the bug with filling shapes with pattern swatches from earlier this year is back!! It keeps filling shapes with old swatches, no matter what I do. I have turned to version 26.01 for now. Hopefully you can fix this again soon. Thank you.

    When I had messaged them they had us uninstall Creative Cloud, and use a Creative Cloud Cleaner. When we reinstalled everything it worked but Indesign stopped working; thankfully it started working hours later, without any additional help.
