Illustrator 2022 (version 26.3.1) freezes whenever I open any file. MAC

Crashes everytime I open a file and I reinstalled the older version on Illustrator and it's still doing the same! Please fix this.

 What version of OS are you using with 26.3.1?

Illustrator system requirements | earlier releases

Your OOBE may be corrupt

OOBE RESET MAC

1. Quit the Creative Cloud desktop app  (100% you must do this)
2. The \Users\<user folder>\Library\ is hidden by default for macOS 10.7 and above. Option click on the GO in the mac finder to reveal the Library folder.
3. /Users/<user folder>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
4. Delete all the files within the OOBE folder, but do not delete the folder itself.

MacOS Big Sur - 11.6.5 and Illustrator 26.3.1, now using the 26.2 because the 26.3.1 was not working either. The 26.2 is doing the same.  I tried what you recommended below and it did nothing.
