    This is a work PC so i can't perform certain tasks without our Servicing Technician. I did however try everything you suggested except launching the app in safe mode because i can't acces that on my own.

    What i did try is this: deleting ~FontCache~ files in FontCache folder. I could not delete them because they were in use. Don't know how because i went to that folder right when i restarted my PC. I could rename them and so i did. After rebooting PC and starting Illustrator from CreativeCloud app the fonts were loading in percentages, and the loading screen crashed on "initialization...".

    Reseting preferences for Illustrator manually - still nothing.

    I can't create new user but i can log in with coworker's network username that creates a new temporary user on my PC and there the Illustrator was working without any problems.


    Hi aviioncc02,

    It seems that there is a problem with your user account. You should contact your office IT Team for permission issues.
