Beyond furious illustrator running so unworkably slow!

As I am not a student neither a professional, it is very expensive to run the Adobe suite. Yet here I am just trying to use it but feeling at a huge loss because even the simplest of tasks are either running unbelievably slow, freezing or just not applying at all!

 

A month ago I bought a new mini mac with 16 GB memory on the latest system software Ventura 13.2.1

and I have literally nothing else running. Now I have to waste precious time in here complaining about my purchase because I am not get what I paid for! I cannot complete my project because it is doing all of the horrible things above and no amount of frigging around is helping.

 

I use to love Adobe but now I feel pure frustration and even hatred and anger towards this company. This year I will NOT continue my subscription.

Hello @Charlotte5FEC,

 

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. We are here to help and would like to suggest trying to reset Illustrator's preferences as described in this article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-preference-issues.html).

 

Also, try running Illustrator under a different administrator account (https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/add-a-user-or-group-mchl3e281fc9/mac) and share your observations. We appreciate your time and effort in helping us resolve this issue.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

So I'm guessing prior to this the Adobe suite ran okay?

What has changed since then? That might be the issue...
