I'm dealing with a simlair issue however instead of crashing a minute in the programme closes with the save option appearing. Sad thing is there's only two options for saving Yes or No... and no Cancel option. This also happens in certain photoshop files too. Currently run latests updates for PS and Illusator.

Did you reset the preferences when updating?

Usually updates are automatically installed, I didn't reset the settings manually

In  that case I would try that first. Rename the folder as described in here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html
