Font filter crashes after 30.1 update

After upgrading Illustrator to version 30.1 (on Windows 11) with the new font filtering system, everytime I try to use it I get the hour glass hang until either it just backs out of the selection with no filtering or Illustrator crashes. Filtering used to work until the update changed the system.

Hello @AtrocitySale,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Could you try the suggestions shared in this help article (https://adobe.ly/3YPg2k7) and let us know if they help? Also, try to run Illustrator under a different administrator account (Windows / macOS) and share your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
