Adobe Illustrator causes Windows UI double-trigger / ghost input until reboot
Hello Adobe Team,
I am facing an issue where Adobe Illustrator causes Windows UI behavior to malfunction after some time of usage.
Problem description:
While working in Adobe Illustrator, Windows starts registering duplicate UI actions system-wide.
Examples:
Minimizing a window causes it to minimize, reappear briefly, then minimize again
Start Menu opens, closes, and opens again
Taskbar and Explorer UI behave as if inputs are triggered twice
This issue affects the entire operating system, not just Illustrator.
Important observation:
Restarting the PC temporarily resolves the issue
The issue only occurs after working in Adobe Illustrator
The problem does NOT occur when Illustrator is not used
System details:
OS: Windows (10 / 11)
Adobe Illustrator version: 30.1(64 bit)
GPU: [NVIDIA 3060]
Display refresh rate: 144Hz
Input devices: Standard mouse and keyboard (no tablet)
This issue impacts productivity significantly, as it forces frequent system restarts during professional design work.
Thank you,
Prasadh Kasturi
