Everything Turns Blank Upon Clicking Anything

[Cornelia5C88]

Hi all,

I've had trouble with Illustrator recently (CC) in a sense that it opens as usual. But when I click any item on my artboard, everything just turns white. If I click outside of the area containing items on this white screen, everything shows up again (see screenshots, sorry they're in the wrong order somehow). Also, I can see everything even after it all turned white when holding down the control key. This happens with every file I open and also with new files. So, if I create a new file and then create a rectangle for example, everything turns white, as well. Does anyone have a clue what might be causing this and how it may be solved? I already de- and re-installed Illustrator but nothing has changed since. Illustrator is the only program I am having this trouble with. Photoshop works just fine.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Best,

Conny

Is "GPU Performance" on? Might try turning it off.

Thanks a lot for your answer! Turned it off but keep having the same issue.

What happens when you turn off the preview (Cmd/Ctrl+Y)? Can you still see the vectors?

I can see them until I click on them. Once I click, everything turns blue:

Also, in this outline mode, I (contrary to regular view), I cannot see anything when holding down the control key.
