Hello @Ejr21,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. I hope the suggestions shared by Monika helped resolve the problem. If not, kindly try to reset Illustrator's preferences as described in this article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-preference-issues.html).
Note: Resetting Illustrator's preferences will remove all your custom settings, and Illustrator will start with the default. You may backup your settings from the location mentioned in the article.

If you don't mind, could you please follow the steps and share your observations with us? We appreciate your time and effort in helping us resolve this issue.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

When was the last time you rebooted the computer? Maybe now would be an idea?
