Adobe Illustrator V 30 repeatedly crashing

Version    10.0.26200 Build 26200

I have rest the preferences several times.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and reported the crash.
 

Illustrator keeps crashing.  The ‘error report’ looks like this.

    ​@Dilly_Dally Curious, when you are uninstalling sveral times, are you using Adobe Cleaner Tool as well?The Adobe Cleaner Tool is Adobe’s deep‑clean utility. It removes broken installs, leftover files, and corrupted components so you can reinstall your apps. https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/creative-cloud/apps/troubleshoot/diagnostics-repair-tools/run-creative-cloud-cleaner-tool.html

    I would use this, especially if you keep on getting that message, the tool will clear out bad preferences and caches that cause these crashes
