Hi,
I'm having trouble opening eps files in Illustrator on Windows 10. I can open the software and create a new file, but every time I try to add an eps file or open it directly from a folder, it crashes and prompts me to submit the report (the solution should be one of the folllowing, it says).

I've  tried updating the program, reinstalling it, removing preferences, updating the GPU and tablet drivers. Unfortunatelly, none of this helped. I would really appreciate your help.

What kind of EPS files are they? Did you create those EPS in Illustrator?

They were created by exporting a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat. The files generated this way have always worked correctly for me, until today. While working, after closing and reopening Illustrator, it stopped working.

And what has generated the PDF? What is inside that file?
