I have updated all my Adobe CC apps to the latest versions today, and I am having frequent crashes with Adobe Illustrator CC 24.0 because I am trying to open the "Help" menu from the Menu bar (by reflex or by accident). When I do that, Illustrator crashes immeditaly everytime.
Am I the only one to have this bug? Is there something to do to fix this?

Same problem with me: illustrator 24.1 on MacOS Catalina keeps on crashing. Deleting cashes+preferences only worked once, and next kept crashing again.
Solution for me was given by adobe support: delete this folder:
/Library/Frameworks/WacomMultiTouch.framework
Hi there,
Sorry to hear about this trouble. We have recently released an update for Illustrator 2020 (v 24.3) which contains some stability fixes. If you are not already on v24.3, then we recommend you to update to latest version.
If that doesn't help, try steps shared on this help article and share your observations with us.
Regards,
Srishti

Hi Yoshin,
Sorry to hear about this issue. I would request if you can share a few more details like:
Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and Illustrator will launch with default settings. You can also take a backup of the folders in case you want to. Location is mentioned in the article.
We’re here to help, just need more info.

Resetting Illustrator Preferences does not resolve the issue.
The issue is not related to a specific document.
I added the crash logs to the attachments.

I have exactly the same problem. It happens on all three of my Macs: Illustrator crashes on launch. It's fine after that, until I quit. Then the cycle starts anew. And it had this same problem before I updated to Mac OS Catalina. Illustrator 2019 never had this problem. This has been going on since I updated Illustrator to 2020.

Same here...It started acting up today. Illustrator 2020 hangs when I try to open any file, but if I start a blank document, it starts up fine. I tried the "preferences" work around, but didn't work.

Hi,
I have recently updated my Mac to Catalina V10.15.1
I have just started a brand new membership to Adobe.
I have just downloaded the latest version of Illustrator
everything in the above order...
Bottom line Illustrator crashed on opening - the icon bounces about 4 times then... well, nothing - not even a crash dialogue.
So I deleted everything to do with Illustrator and downloaded the previous version. Result: The same thing!
I am currently turning away business due to the fault. Very annoyed that I am paying for this!

My issue was solves easily - it was crashing because the confirmation email on registration needed to be actioned.
After this I have had no issues.
It would be nice to see a dialogue box to say this when the issue hapens though as to make it clearer for users to know the problem.

Srishti - you assume that everyone on here is a computer whizz. Personally I have no idea what you are saying with most suggestions above. I also do not have time to waste trying to figurte it all out (something I could do but i wont) when I am looking at a collection of apps for £49.99 monthly I do expect to have to faff around in the internal runnings of my Mac book.
I have a seven day trial with adobe before I have to pay - I thought that would be plenty of time to make an informed decision but this is the end of day two and I still cant use anyhting.
Yesterday was devoted to installing Creative Cloud drive on the mac with OS catalina something i note from google that a lot of people struggle with. I gave in and emailed adobe for help - 24 hours later the silence is truly deafening.
Today has been a downloaded but constantly crashing Illustrator. No error messages just constantly stalling. Why would I pay £49.99 monthly for the rest of my working life to be fiddling around trying to get everything to work? Thats Adobes job not mine.

Adobe this is getting ridiculous!...I do absolutely nothing, casually working on documents in Illustrator, and it is guaranteed to crash (at least) once every day!!....absolutely no relation to any of the crashes, in terms of specific actions I take!?!

I am having the same issues. Ever since I upgraded to 2020, my programs have been crashing constantly and apparently at random. Illustrator and After Effects seem to be the programs that crash the most, and they often cause any other Adobe programs I have open to crash as well. This is getting to the point that I can't do any of my work, which is very frustrating because a lot of my work is time-sensitive.
At this very moment I am about to restart my computer because I can't open any files - new or in progress - without Illustrator crashing.

I am having the same issue. I tried loading 2020 when it first came out and it crashed everytime. So I went back to 2019. But today I ran into files that were created in 2020 so I could not open them. So I tried to reinstall 2020. Still crashed. So then I updated to OS Catalina thinking that would fix the issue. Reinstalled Illustrator and still crashed. Did the preference thing. Reinstalled CC Desktop. Deleted the stuff from OOBE folder. Still crashing. I need HELP!!!!! Have not had any CC issues until this Illustrator fiasco.

Was just on the phone with Adobe Tech Support. Had me click my firewall off and then was able to launch Illustrator. Also deleted Illustrator Prefs and he checked to see if there might be any virus detection software on my system. Said that could cause issues. Hope this helps.

Hi Srishti,
I submit a crash report when I can, but more often than not I have to shut off the program manually or it crashes the whole computer (hello Blue Screen of Death!) so it doesn't generate a crash report.
