When I reopen Illustrator after a crash, and it asks me if I want to reopen files saved during the crash, I get blank, untitled files instead of the files I was working on. Why?

 

Illustrator 28.2

Win 10 Pro for Worksstations

HP Z4 Workstation with 4.0 Ghz Intel Xeon

32 GB Ram

That happens because when it crashes while saving, your file is almost certainly gone.

 

Please make a backup strategy and then save your files regularly and save different versions also regularly.
