Progress Bar "Processing" Keeps Popping Up in Illustrator v26.4.1

I keep getting this "Progress" bar upon opening Illustrator and it prevents me from doing anything. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the application, restarting etc.. nothing seems to get rid of it! It's happening on my work computer that's running Windows 10 Enterprise. 

 

I hope something can be done as I primarly use Illustrator for my projects!

 

Thanks so much,

 

Sam

    Hi @sam.t @dianae63580053 @MrBill812 @David Greusel 

     

    We are sorry for the trouble. This has been reported on multiple posts by many users. We have logged a bug with the product team and will like to investigate the issue further. Would you mind sharing a few details like:

     

    In the meantime, you may roll back and install the older v26.3.1.

     

    Looking forward to your responses.

    Yep. I've had the same thing happen and I'm absolutely stuck. Illustrator 2022 has been very unstable and obviously wasn't properly tested or ready for release. Very frustrated and disappointed. I also need it fixed ASAP!

      Thanks for saving my life guys, completely uninstalling 26.4.1 and then roll back to v. 26.3.1 works like a charm!

        Uninstalling latest version and going back to 26.3.1 seems to have resolved my issue. Thanks, community!

          What is up with Illustrator 2022? I've had more problems with it crashing than I've ever had with any other Adobe product. I'm now dead in the water. I've tried everything from rebooting to reinstalling the app and nothing has worked. No matter what I've tried, it just gets stuck in an endless loop of "processing" after recovering from a crash. Please help!

          Same thing was happening to me today. Uninstalling & reinstalling did not help (26.4.1).
          I had to go back to the previous version (26.3.1).

            Abra Creative Cloud y haga clic con el botón derecho en la versión de Illustrator que ha instalado; verá una opción para ver "otras versiones". (Perdón por la mala traducción, ¡solo uso el traductor de Google!)

              Since the last update, 3 days ago, when I try to open an AI file, the program starts and crashes immendiately; when I start Illustrator and try to open a file directly from Illustrator, the program crashes after a few minutes, sometime a few seconds...

              Dear Support community,

              I just wanted to let you know that I have been experiencing all day crash after crash with illustrator.  All the others were ok. I tried all: Safe mode, admin mode, reinstall, update drivers and softwares, etc.  Nothing work and the information provided here was not clear. Then I runned my old CS6 and it was running very smoothly so I realize that perhaps the solution is to install a prevous version.  So far, it's working. So I believe that the latest version has a glitch that need to be addressed.  I lost a whole day and I'm sure Abobe will not refund this time from the mony I monthly pay to receive from Adobe a good service.

              I  am sharing my solution thinking that perhaps there are others like me, lost.

              Sergio

                Hola, el dia de hoy quise abrir el Illustrator para continuar con un trabajo que ya habia empezado hacer.. pero inesperadamente se cierra. No tengo actualizaciones pendientes, ya reinicie varias veces la computadora y no puedo ni crear un archivo nuevo  ni abrir uno porque lo cierra sin darme la oportunidad de trabajar algo.

                This exact thing. Just started happening today. Couple of uninstall/reinstall cycles have not helped solve the problem.

                Help!
