Hello everyone,
We have received several reports of apps crashing or becoming unresponsive after launch, particularly following the release of version 28.6. Unlike generic crashes, this issue specifically causes all Adobe apps to get stuck at the splash screen or enter a “not responding” state, preventing them from launching.

To check for the beta apps, go into your application folder.
You can also open the Creative Cloud app and see a list of what's installed. you should be able to uninstall the betas via the Creative Cloud app.
Or look into the application folder and then into the respective app folder - there should be an uninstaller.
The cleaner tool is here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
If you have custom brushes or other stuff, here's where to find them. Get them out of there into a safe place before uninstalling: https://www.vektorgarten.de/illustrator-settings.html

Please, sorry! I don't know what to do?
Again today: No Illustrator works ??
I'm on vacation, - and I have millions of file. So I can't take a copy of everything? - But I have to use Illustrator today!! Can you please help?
I have only used Photoshop Beta apps, - and it works a lot better that Phoposhop 25.11. So why shall I uninstall it? every Photoshop file I have done since Photoshop Beta came out, I have use this Photoshop beta version .
I have no custom brushes.
But why are you putting Beta versions on my Adobe Create Cloud ?? - and then I shall not use them? - it makes no sense?

Based on your screenshot, it looks like you have the Photoshop Beta installed. The other Beta seems to be uninstalled, so you don’t need to worry about it.
Please try uninstalling Photoshop Beta and then attempting to relaunch Illustrator and other apps. This should help resolve the issue. Once you've done that, let us know how it goes, and we can assist further if needed.
I know this has been frustrating, but we’re here to help you get back on track!
Best,

- I can't figure all this out!
why can't you get hold of a specialist from Adobe, so they can do this for us?
I am not such a specialist to do all this.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling apps, but still, when I open them they consume too much memory and get stuck. I even restarted the Mac (Running M1 Max 32GB 1tB - remaining 400 GB) I need help on what to do. I have pending projects that are due soon. I even updated to the latest Mac OS (
Version 14.6 (23G80).

@iammikedeleon not enough RAM....with Generative AI in many of the applications, those are huge RAM sucking apps. So, quit the one s you don't need, and you should be fine...and if you have music or video streaming in the background too!

Hello @iammikedeleon,
We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind trying to run Illustrator under Safe Mode (Windows / macOS) and checking if it helps? Also, try running Illustrator under a different administrator account (Windows / macOS) and share your observations.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

You are just opening them and they do this?
But even when there are projects open, they shouldn't do that.
Having too many apps open will slow you down, but they shouldn't freeze. I'm having those open sometimes for days (but also I'm not running Sonoma).
Are you running any Window manager in your system? Or a clipboard manager?
Do you have a lot of fonts installed? Third party plugins in any of the apps?
Have you experienced any issues with files you have in Creative Cloud lately?
Have you experienced any other issues that could point to a cause?
