I recently updated to Illustrator 2020...everytime I open up a file, when the file opens, a blank pop up window opens as well. There are no issues with the file I open, this is just weird and I'd like to know why it does it. Im on a mac book pro with the newest version of mojave. Thanks

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out.
I'd recommend you to reset the preferences of Illustrator. You may follow the steps below:

  • Close all Adobe applications. 
  • Go to locations 
  • ~/Library/Caches 
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe 
  • ~/Library/Preferences 
  • Rename  Adobe Illustrator, com.adobe.illustrator and Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings folders to   Adobe Illustrator.old, com.adobe.illustrator.old and Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings.old 
  • Launch Illustrator from the Creative Cloud. 

 

Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and Illustrator will launch with default settings. This way all your old settings will be saved in .old folders and Illustrator will recreate new folders with default settings. 

 

Let us know if it works out.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh
