Illustrator Not Saving changes 2025

Question

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with the illustrator app. The problem is that when I open any file and do some changes the saving process doesnt run. It just stays with the " * "  in the file tab as if its saved yet. It only happens in Illustrator.... PS, AF, etc work good. I tried to uninstall ann install it again but it keeps happening. If anyone knows how to fix it let me know. Thank you.

Hi @Estefani32739828p8n4,

Thanks for reaching out. Since Photoshop and After Effects are working fine, this does seem specific to Illustrator. Could you confirm the Illustrator version and your OS details, so I can check further? It would also help to know if this happens with every file, including newly created ones saved locally, or only with certain documents. If possible, please share a short screen recording showing the save issue.

Looking forward to your update.

Abhishek
