After a few minutes of usage, Illustrator always crashes the PC (Windows 10 Pro, up to date) without BSOD.
I downgraded to older Illustrator version 26, deleted preferences, not use graphics card, etc. but to no avail. What can I do? In the worst case, I'm happy to downgrade to even older versions, but this is untenable.
Can you please tell us about your hardware and the files you are editing? Does this happen with all files? Even newly created ones? Where do you store files?
Are all your fonts checked? All plugins compatible?
Does this also happen when no other app is running besides Illustrator?
Hardware is three Apple MacBook Pro 16" from 2019 using bootcamp and Windows 10 Pro. Not downloaded Illustrator plugins. No new fonts installed. Happens even when no file is open. Happens also when only Illustrator runs, longest usage time is around 10 minutes before the PCs crash (all three show same symptom). Adobe CS6, last version we used, ran fine.
Is there any error message or information after Illustrator relaunches?
Did you run the Adobe Cleaner tool before installing the Creative Cloud?
You could contact Customer Care so they can take a look into your system and check it out. They should also be able to get the system logs and interpret them.
No error message, the laptops just shut down without even a BSOD. No message upon re-launch. Cleaned everything. Deleted preferences. Downgraded to prior version, but to no avail. Earlier this year, there were no problems.
If it doesn't help, would you mind sharing a few details like:
Does Ai crash randomly or after performing a specific action or using a specific tool/ feature/ effect?
The exact version of Windows 10 (build no.) & Illustrator on BootCamp?
Have you tried reinstalling Windows 10 or updating to windows 11 on any of the Macbooks Bootcamp? (Check for overheating/ fan noise before the Mac crashes)
Let us know how it goes. I'll be looking forward to your response.
