Illustrator 2022 crashing/ Not Responding/ while closing/ exiting on Windows machine

[geu26]

This wasnt happening on the previous version. This only began the minute I updated. I've reset the prefernces and still nothing. I'm on the latest build for Windows 10 Pro, 21H1, OS build 19043.1348, Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0

Dont even need to have opened a file. Open the app, close the app it freezes.

Only way to close it is Ending the Process through task manager.

Hello,

unfortunately the crash report from adobe doesnt even come out. Only reporting to microsoft. Might be a Windows problem but the version before was not crashing.

My win version:

Win 10 Pro

10.0.19043

Best regards,

Antonios.

I turned off  "Share information on how I use Adobe desktop apps. & Allow my content to be analyzed by Adobe using machine learning techniques." under your account, security, privacy. Voila no more freezing issues with AI

Here is an update. Fixing the LogTransport2 error I would get on shutting down/rebooting my PC it apprently has the stopped the freez on exit i was getting with Illustrator. 

I turned off  "Share information on how I use Adobe desktop apps. & Allow my content to be analyzed by Adobe using machine learning techniques." under your account, security, privacy. Voila no more freezing issues with AI and no more LogTransport2 error on rebbot. 2 birds one stone.

Mate! Finally a perfect and working answer!!! Thanks, this worked for me.

[AhmedmFahmy]

Thank you geu26, you’re amazing!

[geu26]

Thanks guys, but I can't take credit. It was a Youtube video I found trying to fix something else turns out it fixed the Illustrator issue too. 🙂 https://youtu.be/kenAIsJEyJU

Figured I'd post what worked for me. Glad it helped.

Every time I try to close the Illustrator there is an error showing up for me with a black or white screen, I try to delete it and download it again but this is didn't work for me.

By "error showing up with a black or white screen", do you mean that there's no error message shown? If one is shown, please let us know.

What are your system specifications?

Try removing Illustrator and possible remnants via the 'Creative Cloud Cleaner tool', then reinstall it.

Also, make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Illustrator.

Hi there,

Sorry about the trouble. I would like to know if the steps suggested above by @thatsmauri worked for you? If not, I would request you to share a few more details like:

• OS and the exact version of Illustrator
• Screenshot of the error
• Are there any recent changes made to your system? For example, any antivirus, system updates, plugins, or web extensions installed recently.
• Does resetting Illustrator Preferences ( https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html) help to resolve the issue?
  Disclaimer: 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.

Also, you may try running the app in the Hidden Admin account (Mac/ Windows) and see if you are able to close Illustrator without this error.

We'll be looking forward to your response.

Regards,

Anshul Saini

Every time I try to close AI, it crashes. I tried to unistall/istall but nithing happend. I also tried to fix step by step like this video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kenAIsJEyJU but I cant find anything on Prinvacy settings, it's literally empty...

[sishamIAGD]

Are you getting the LogTransport2.exe error then..? When you go to your account you can then select the Account and security tab at the top then from there select privacy then you can switch off your Desktop app usage and Machine Learning.

Have you also tried resetting your preferences?

And also when you uninstall have you done this using the cleaner tool option too?

Uninstall or remove Adobe Creative Cloud apps

Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to solve installation problems

Hi All,

We are sorry about the trouble. I would request you to update to v26.0.2. We have tried to address this issue in this release. If you don't see this update, you may manually check for updates in the Creative Cloud desktop app. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks & Regards,

When I try to close Illustrator 2022, for some reason. It freezes and refuses to finish the process.

[gianvitulano]

Hi Franklytired,

which OS are you running illustrator on?

[FranklyTired]

Windows 10 Home
Version 21H1
Installed on ‎20-‎Jun-‎21
OS build 19043.1288
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0

Just to add, I'm having the exact same issue (only with Illustrator, the other CC apps seem to be functioning just as they were before the "upgarde"). 

I did read further down and and saw the replies, only one thing is differnt is my version of Windows 10 is 21H2. I'd love to hear if this got resolved and how so. 

Thanks!

Did you migrate the preferences when updating? Most of the time this irritates Illustrator.

Does Illustrator have sufficient privileges to write to the disk? When closing it needs to update the preferences file. When this is not possible, usually it crashes.
