Hello,

When I open illustrator 2025 I get an error message saying:

'Adobe Illustrator The file "[filename.ai]" has an unknown format, so the styles cannot be imported.'

- I did not open that file, I just opened the software.

- I can not work in illustrator now!!

Please, what is the problem with Illustrator at the moment?

Hello @Frans van der Vleuten,

I'm sorry to learn about your situation. Could you please check if there are any files in the recovery folder and temporarily delete them to see if that resolves the issue? You can find the precise folder location in this helpx article (https://adobe.ly/3OE6QKt).

I look forward to your response.

I solved the issue by deleting all cache en user settings and such. Now all my setting, user interface and shortkeys are gone. I need to add them manually again. It will take me an hour to do so.

Ik total ik took me hours so fix this bug. Maybe I need to send Adobe an invoice for the hours I worked? Unbelievable that thsis random errors are happening all the time...
