Illustrator 2022 Keeps crashing on Windows 10 machine

@matts18366665 I've just looked back through your post history. You have been asked for details of your exact issues and your system but have never given them. What you have done is moaned about Adobe and made the false claim that it 'never fixes anything'.

I would suggest you either start a thread in this forum outlining your particular issues, giving the repeatable steps that others can replicate, along with your system details. That way, those that volunteer their time here can try and assist. Or contact Adobe care and ask them to take a look at your installation.

I had the same problem. Illustrator 26.5 would always freeze after the startscreen.

I tried rebooting, reinstalling, i tried removing settings, i tried older version down to 25.0, i tried the Adobe Cleaner App... nothing helped. Adobe tech support  via remote desktop quickly found out that it was a faulty PRINTER DRIVER installation that blocked illustrator.

This helped: Try setting your "standart printer" back to "Adobe PDF" as default. 

I am having this problem even in February. Just updated to the latest version (2021 to 2022) and I can't even get the app to open. If I open it  from the creative cloud desktop app, it only appears to be open in my task manager. If I open it from the startup menu of Windows 10, it acts like it's opening but gets stuck on the new Puffin artwork. The task Manager shows it as not responding.
I've read through these and tried the virus protection. uninstalling and redownloading, restarting my computer, etc. Fianlly, I uninstalled and downloaded the oldest version of Illustrator it allowed me to and it worked but what the heck?

I was crashing before I updated. Thought it was because I needed to purchase new year, so I di. I updated to 2022 as advized to and now I can only get as far as selecting 3d before the whole thing locks my computer up! I did not pay good money to want to throw my computer out the window!!!!

SAME! v26.0.2 is the worst.

It's 28th Dec now. I tried all the solutions you guys suggested here but still does not work at all.

I really tried every single way here, but it still the same. It crashes even I not yet open any file LOL!

Broke and frustrated, can't believe we pay for this 'Adobe service'

Hi😊

Im having the same issue... AI 2022 crashes quite often...every few hours or a few mins after starting...

*I have windows 10 Home version 20H2 

*AMD FX (tm) - 8310 eight -core processor 3.40 GHZ

*Ram: 8.00GB  

*64-bit OS x64 -based processor 
Any suggestions? 
Thank you 😊

Uninstalling 2022......It make feel like it's 2020 again and that was a pretty crappy year.  I'm going out on a limb and say you cater to Apple and Windows users be damned.  That's why you switched the Ctrl - Shift - S in Photoshop to where you can't save a file in any format.

Your patch didn't work, unless your plan was to turn my computer into a paper weight.....then your patch worked perfectly.

Holy crap......I can't even get the type tool to work. Why did i update....why.....oh....cause Adobe creative Cloud keeps pushing this crap.  I can't even use the type tool.....ridiculous. It's late, I need sleep....NO WORK GETTING DONE. Thanks Adobe.

The newest update continues the same crashing behavior.  I've reverted to Illustrator 2021 and can do my work as before.  This is not a user problem, it's an Illy 2022 problem.

I'm not trying to pile on, but lend credence to the other users that what they are experiencing is widespread and commonplace.
