Illustrator 2025 keeps freezing

[lettabug]

I just subscribed and downloaded Illustrator 2025. When I try to open a new file the app freezes. I found a thread that suggests some steps to resolving the problem, but it is still freezing.

did you install illustrator using the cc desktop app?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Hello @lettabug,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind checking if you have any pending OS updates and installing them to see if it helps?

Also, try performing a clean reinstallation of the GPU drivers (Intel / NVIDIA / AMD) and setting the Graphics Preference to High-Performance for Illustrator (https://adobe.ly/4grtG3O) and checking if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
