Hi
I can't open any file with Illustrator by either dragging and dropping, right clicking and "open>Illustrator 2022", or by selecting the "file>open>"whichever file. None of these options work and I can't create a new file in Illustrator either. Any of these actions results in the colour wheel of doom circling forever and the "(not responding)" note next to the Illustrator icon in the dashboard. I'm using Mac with Monterey 12.3.1
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I've tried resetting my preferences, and using the Adobe Apps cleanup tool, and NOTHING has solved this issue. Please help.

Once you collect these logs, then you may try turning off GPU performance from Illustrator preferences and let us know if it works for you or not.
This information will be really helpful for us. I am looking forward to your response.
Thanks,

These steps worked; I'm able to create a new document and import files to Illustrator now. Thanks for the quick response and help!

Thanks for confirming @Tania24335002is5a. I am glad to hear it worked for you.
Were you able to collect the logs before resolving the issue by turning off GPU performance? If yes, please share the download links to the logs with me here or via DM.
It would be really helpful for us.

Hi,
I'm dealing with the exact same issue after trying multiple solutions as well. I'd like to try turning off GPU performance but how am I even able to if I cant even get the application to launch?
