    Hi @Serka Reklam,

     

    I hope the issue is resolved. If not, would you mind confirming if you have tried the steps suggested by Anubhav above? If not, you may want to try turning off GPU performance from Illustrator preferences or turning off the internet to see if you're able to create a new file. There was a similar issue a couple of years back, and this workaround helped some users.

     

    Please let us know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

     

    Best regards,

    Anshul Saini

    @Serka Reklam Please refer to the comment from Monika Gause and  @Srishti Bali with regards to the opening screen, which sounds like a huge issue for PC users: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-landing-page-problem/m-p/14739612#M413104 

     

    Scroll down to read both comments from Monika Gause and  @Srishti Bali (Srishti may have the work-around). @Anubhav M

      Hello @Serka Reklam,

      I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind trying to update Illustrator/Windows to the latest version and checking if it helps? Also, try resetting Illustrator's preferences as described in this article (https://adobe.ly/3y2KFc7) and sharing your observations.

       

      Disclaimer: Please note that renaming preferences folders will remove all the custom settings, and Illustrator will launch with default settings. You can also save a backup of the folders, the location of which is mentioned above.

      Looking forward to hearing from you.

       

      Thanks,

      Anubhav
