Hello @origin.wilfred,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. Kindly try manually resetting the preferences for Illustrator by following these steps and share your observations:

- Close all Adobe applications.
- Go to Location C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
- Rename Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Illustrator 26 Settings folders to Adobe Illustrator.old and Adobe Illustrator - 26 Settings.old

Disclaimer: Please note that renaming preferences folders will remove all the custom settings, and Illustrator will
launch with default settings. You can also take a backup of the folders in case you want to. The location is mentioned above.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Hello @origin.wilfred,

 

Thanks for trying that. Kindly try to copy and paste

C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe

into the address bar for Windows Explorer and check if it works then.
