Adobe AI running incredibly slow! Only Illustrator.

Hello @hectorc76258646,

We understand how frustrating it can be to experience performance issues with Illustrator, especially on a computer that meets/exceeds the system requirements.

Would you mind trying the suggestions shared in this help article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-illustrator-performance.html) and checking if it helps?

Also, try performing a clean reinstallation of the GPU drivers (Intel / NVIDIA / AMD) and setting the Graphics Preference to High-Performance for Illustrator (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-110), and running Illustrator under a different administrator account (Windows) and sharing your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Is this all Illustrator files or only some files? If only som efiles look for things that can slow the program down:

• 3D effects and raster effects,
• Large raster objects (imported images or rasterized drawings),
• Embedded images,
• Use of large font files (large font files usually have very complex paths that use a lot of processing to render).

Also please provide your versions of Illustrator and your OS.
