After a long day of uninstall, reinstall, cleaner tool, Adobe remote assistance and no fix later....Every time I go into 3D effects AI stops responding and crashes (works fine in older version).
I know the problem was an accidental mass upload of dowloaded substances while distracted, so I figure something somewhere is continuing to recognize "Your Materials" under Materials tab in 3D effects, even after everything, and maybe is trying to upload still or has a corrupted file (I have also deleted all downloaded materials as part of the attempted fix). So to test my theory I went into program files and located the Material-Resources folder and deleted the files outside the Default Material Substances folder: material_icon_render.sbsar and missing_material.sbsar. I relaunched AI and after doing so I was able to access 3D effects but no materials would appear, just continous "searching cirlces", also my "Your Materials" folder was still there as I had suspected...so in some manner (not crazy computer savvy) my thought is correct, I am just not entirely sure what exactly is causing it or how to fix this...
Please help! All or any help would be so appreciated its been almost 24 hours and I am going crazy trying to fix this.
I uploaded too many assets at once into AI, it turned out to be a corrupted directory file, had to scratch all and restart. I had everything I needed saved so it was ok and everything is working now!
Thanks so much for your response, greatly appreciated!

Adobe creative cloud saves a copy of your library... did you add\ upload a lot of files to your cc library perhaps?
