Help? Ilustrator files on my Laptop not opening when I double-click them from my desktop.

Ok so that is weird. It is still working, but when I check Preferences/Performance....the GPU is checked and back on. So, I'm confused lol.

I just turned off GPU in Illustrator/preference/performance and now I can double click and my Illustrator file from desktopo to open without showing the home/recents page. *However, I'm not sure that is oveall a good thing???? any othe thoughts? anyone? thx!

Anubhav, I tried both suggestions. All undrestood. thanks again. all checked out to be correct. However, I am still having issues when I double click my Illustrator files on my desk top. Illustrator opens, It shows my file in the home page/recents, but does not automactally my file.

Hello rudiskey,

Sorry to hear about this experience. I would request you try enabling Full Disk Access for Illustrator by following the steps shared in this article (https://support.avast.com/en-in/article/allow-mac-full-disk-access/#pc) and check if it helps.

Also, kindly check if the Desktop and Document folders are added to iCloud Drive and if so, kindly save your work on a different location that is not an external/network drive or a cloud-synced folder and share your observations.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Anubhav
