Hello @markk25503653,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. I would request you try resetting Illustrator's preferences as suggested by Monika by following the steps shared in this article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-preference-issues.html) and sharing your observations.
Disclaimer: Please note that resetting preferences will remove all custom settings, and Illustrator will launch with the defaults. You may take a backup of these settings from the location mentioned in the article.

 

Also, check for issues with fonts by following the steps shared in this article and check if it helps: https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-illustrator-indesign.html.


Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,
Anubhav

Hello @markk25503653,

 

Thanks for confirming that, and sorry for the late response. I hope the problem is resolved by now. If not, kindly try running Illustrator under the root user account (macOS) or a different administrator account (Windows) and share your observations.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Regards.
