Hello everyone,
We have received several reports of apps crashing or becoming unresponsive after launch, particularly following the release of version 28.6. Unlike generic crashes, this issue specifically causes all Adobe apps to get stuck at the splash screen or enter a “not responding” state, preventing them from launching.

I have 24GB unifired memory. And having issues. I maxed out the ram on my new M3 to avoid free memory issues.
Thanks as goofed on my first post. Sure glad I dropped my Illustrator class starting next week as I'd be going nuts now not having the app functioning properly.

512 GB of RAM seems huge - are you sure?

I uninstalled all apps and the creative cloud, did the clean sweep, etc. Nothing is helping the illustrator app open up. It downloads to my desktop but just stalls on opening. Am perplexed as am not a techie person, but a Creative.

Having the same problem today. No Adobe apps will open for me (iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 48 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 Ventura); I get as far as the splash screen, and then it hangs forever.

All apps are the latest updates, but none will start. Some kind of server authentification issue perhaps? I've tried getting hold of an agent, but none available til Monday
