Illustrator 2022 keep crashing on macOs

[Giovanni Mori]

From today illustrator 2022 has decided not to work anymore... the program starts but when I try to open a file it crashes. MacOS Monterey 12.3.1 MacBook Pro Early 2015

Have you tried resetting your preferences?

Go to Illustrator/Preferences/General and click the button. Quit and relaunch AI.

Hi Kevin, I deleted the preferences as you indicated but the problem is not solved. The MacBook fan starts to be heard and the application freezes.

Have you run all updates to Illustrator? There was a recent update that resolved similar issues.

If so, next up is fonts - do you know how many fonts you currently have active?
