the best solution i got to my OS Illustrator 2020 24.2.0 was:

In preferences check the box that says "Use Legacy New Document dialog"

En windows sucede lo mismo, desinstale la aplicación y volví a instalar desde creative cloud, así se soluciono el problema.

None of this worked. Nothing but a white screen and wasted time. Current machine: OS X Big Sur 11.4 (was occuring before the latest update, today 5/24/2021) and on PC: win10 64bit. Everything up to date. 

 

This is disappointing. Any more ideas??

If uninstalling and resetting doesn't help, then the next thing would be to contact Customer Care, so they can have a look inside your system https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
