Same here.

I get about 5 minutes of work done on Illustrator and then it crashes.  When I go back to it I get a "Adobe Illustrator Quit Unexpectantly" message.  When I click on OK I get a "Could not Find the Linked File" message.  I then have to go in and replace the linked file in my background layer.

I have gone back to the previous version (25.4.1) and it crashes as well. I am unabvle to use any version of Illustrator.

Yes, we're in the same boat.  Pretty sure it has something to do with this.

I am going to do a clean removal and reinstall, will update how it goes here.

[tylert70970100]

Did and Didn't work.  I think the problem is that if you open ILLUSTRATOR from Creative Cloud after updating, it doesn't do anything. ie the " No Crash Report to submit, just glitches out.  If I go to task manager and close Illustrator and Open it from the Start Menu - it works.  Fingers crossed this will keep up.

[tylert70970100]

Okay, worked but my libraries were missing so I closed it and it won't reopen.  This is a major problem.  Lots of glitches and not really a way to show a report. I was finally able to get back in but please fix this if at all possible.  I can't be the only one having these problems.

All of your experiences, I am exactly the same! It is so frustrating considering we can't go back to older versions. Wish I did not update!

[AGMoe]

I have done a clean removal and reinstalled twice. I'm seriously ready to cry.

[CoryVan]

I cant even work. I'm very upset with my "Adobe service" today

So what is the answer? I want to smash my laptop I'm so frustrated but I know it's just the software. I hate being dependent on any stupid software for my livelihood. I am losing buckets of money, not to mention customers that just go somewhere else cuz they are tired of waiting for a proof. This is seriously bs. There is no crash report either. I'm thinking everyone needs to not pay for this service and maybe they will get it fixed. I'm extremely unhappy

Same here, cannot use any version. Come on Adobe get your act together.

Don't get option to send crash reports.

[CoryVan]

Check your anti-virus software and add as a safe program.

[CoryVan]

I cannot submit a crash report becasue my Illustator will NOT even open. I have uninstalled v 26 and reinstalled 25.4.1 and even THAT won't open now .. this is really unacceptable

[CoryVan]

UPDATE: I checked my Trend Micro AntiVirus and added Illustrator as a safe program. It opened immediately. Check your antivirus

[tylert70970100]

Yes, all sorts of issues.  Tried on multiple computers with the same result.  Looks like this one rolled out a little too quickly.

[Srishti Bali]

I understand, Tyler! We're trying to fix it as early as possible, but couldn't find crash reports submitted from your email address.

I would request you to share the details asked above. This will help us understand the issue and help you acordingly.

Regards!

[tylert70970100]

Hi, Srishti.  I honestly don't have time to try again but will wait a few months for the bugs to get worked out.  Already spent a lot of time on this.  Thanks!

[CoryVan]

I can't even open my program to SEND a Crash Report. This is ridiculous

[Srishti Bali]

Hi there,

Thanks for your time and patience. As mentioned above, please submit the crash logs by following these steps: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/kb/crash-next-steps.html 

While submitting the crash report, please use the same email address you are signed in on this community. This will help us find the crash report and help accordingly. 

Crash reports help us identify the common crash issues and find the root cause of the issue.

Once done, please try installing version 26.0.1 from the prerelease section and check if that helps resolve this issue. Here are the steps:

1.  If you are not already part of the Illustrator Prerelease program, then please click this link to join the prerelease - https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/85A6F544-2705-49BD-8314-DD549C6A1713
2.  Accept Prerelease Agreement
3.  Go to Creative Cloud Desktop and look for Prerelease in the Apps section.
4.  Install/Update to Illustrator Prerelease 26.0.1 (This will not replace the existing Release build of Illustrator).

Please let us know if the issue gets resolved by this build or it persists. We are looking forward to your response.

Regards,

Srishti

It's Nov 4th, 9:25am PST and my Illustrator will still NOT open.

That's two days without Illustrator and it's affecting my business. Come on Adobe!

After 4 hours with "Support" I am nowhere further. This is the biggest boondoggle I've experienced with this outfit
