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.

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,

Anshul Saini

Everytime I try to close the program it gets stuck and I have to go to the task manager and shut down. Please help!

Without any detailed system info we can't really tell you much. Such behavior is typically related to driver crashes or hardware going into sleep modes, so check your device manager and update your drivers. Also check the event viewer of course for what's actually causing this problem.

Adobe support was able to fix this for me remotely after I tried all I'm currently capable of doing at this time. I would reach out. It's so refreshing to be done with this issue.

Thanks for replay.
What was the issue in your case?

After upgrading to Adobe Illustrator 22 every time I try to close an application, it does not respond or close. I can only close it through Task Manager. Also, it does not save recently opened files because of this.

How do I fix it?

Hi,

have you tried uninstalling and installing Adobe Illustrator again? Have you also encountered a similar problem with other software in the Adobe suite?

Hi,

reinstalling did not solve the problem

No, this problem is only with Adobe Illustrator

Hi there,

Sorry about the crashing! I know that's really frustrating. I would request you to share a few more details like:

Confirm Operating System & the exact version of Illustrator 2022. Is it v26.0 or 26.0.1?
Does it seem to crash at random, at launch, or after performing a particular action?
Does it crash while working on a specific document? If yes, could you please package the document and share it with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link here or via DM.
Where are you saving the documents and links (Network Drive/ System HDD/ Shared Folder on System/ External HDD)?
Submit the crash report by following the steps suggested here (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/kb/crash-next-steps.html).
While submitting the crash report, please use the same email address with which you are signed in on this community. This will help us find the crash report and help accordingly.

We are here to help. We just need more information.

Thanks & Regards,

Hey Anshul! Sorry for responding this so late.
It keeps on crashing everytime i close adobe illustrator.
My operating system is windows 11 and the version of AI is 26.01.
I´m saving eveything in a external HDD.

Hope we can fix this.

Thank you!

After 2 Nightmare days I have dumped version 26, absolutely nothing works properly, cant even exit the program, I have reverted to version 25, why are we paying a huge subscription for something that does not work!!
