Illustrator 28.5 upgrade on OS X 14.5 hangs on FIle> New

I just upgraded Illistrator on Mac OSX Sanoma to V 14.5.

 

Illustrator now hangs when trying to create a new Illustrator document; Force Quit is the only way to end the session.

 

The Windows version of Illustrator 28.5 works correctly on Windows 11.

 

Are others experiencing this (or is it local to my machine)?

Someone else reported some Sonoma 14.5 issue today. But that's the only experience with that system in this forum.

 

Do you have a printer set up as the default printer and turned on?

Thanks for the idea,  . Yes, the printer is up and running. Indeed, I can open and work on existing documents, including printing them. The problem appears to confined to creating new documents.

 

BTW - my work around is to copy an existing .ai file, open it, delete what was there, and then define the artboards, etc., for a new document. Anoying to say the least, but better than being stalled.

When creating new documents Illustrator needs to read new document profiles.

Does Illustrator have full disk access?
