Adobe Illustrator 2024 Crashing Constantly

Good Evening,

I have a user with Adobe Illustrator 2024 that updated to the latest version on Thursday and his Illustrator is constantly crashing. It seems to get stuck at VectorizeUI.aip and just sits there. If you touch the program at all it will stop responding and windows will ask to end the process. When trying dianostics it will open, however within 2 seconds it will freeze and needs to be force exited.'

We have tried:

Uninstalling, Reinstalling

Reverting to previous version

Tried the Adobe Cleaner utility and wiped Illustrator

Started in safe mode

Copy the file locally as opposed to the network

updated the graphic drivers

This user's laptop is a mid range Dell Latittude 5540 laptop with the following specs:

CPU: 13th Gen I7-1370P

RAM: 32 Gigabytes of Memory

Storage: NVMe

GPU: MX550 (Entry level thing)

 

 

After doing all of that it will CONSTANTLY crash, now this user was scheduled to get a new laptop with more "horse power" on Thursday, however due to this issue i bumped the time table up. 

 

His new laptop has the following specs:

CPU: 12th Gen I7-2800H

RAM: 32 Gigabytes

GPU: RTX A1000 (Which is absolutely overkill)

Storage: Some NVMe Drive

I had the user come into the office and we installed Illustrator 2024 FIRST and it worked fine. We launched it a few times and tried differnt files while he was here. When the user went home it was back to crashing constantly and was ununable. I had the user disconnect the dock to rule that out, however it keeps crashing. I also had him copy the file to his local desktop instead of the network and its the same thing. 

 

How do i fix this? Any logs that would be helpful?

delete any extra materials you may have downloaded from Substance 3D Community Assets or any web page from your version of illutrator and the folder in which they were downloaded to - this worked for me - good luck 🙂

welcome to the club, version 28 onwards is highly unstable and has been doing the same things constantly, it's not usable.

Does the user have access to the same printers from home? Are those printers connected in the system?

Yes, He does. We allow printer access over our VPN

Also sorry for the ignorance but what does printers have to do with Illuistrator opening?

A lot unfortunately.

Although creating new files and opening and saving are affected more by  the printer. Illustrator looks for a printer when opening a file and it saves the printer information into the file. So when it can't find a printer at all or the specified printer, then it will act up. You want to be very careful about your printers setups when working with Illustrator
