When saving a .ai to my computer I get the following message: "Illustrator tried, but could not save the file "Untitled.ai". Click "Learn More" to try alternate options for saving your file."

This has helped others:

Try to turn OFF Preferences > File Handling > Save in Background.

Hi @Procruz,

We are glad to inform you that this issue has been fixed in the latest Illustrator update, v26.2.1, released yesterday. I would request you to turn on the "Save in background" setting after updating Illustrator and let us know how it goes.
