Illustrator popup menu windows closing

Hello, today my illustrator stopped working properly.

I try to open a new file, the menu pops for a second and closes, if i select one of my saved files it opens but any menu i try to open does the same thing.

I can't save, change colors, or do anything.

It's basically unusable, i tried deleting the preferences folder, reseting via CTRL-ALT-SHIFT, downgrading to multiple versions and still no solution šŸ˜ž

Hello @Luiz E5EEC,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. I would request you to try running Illustrator under a different administrator account and check if it works. If it does, kindly try the steps shared in this article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preferences-folder-read-only-error.html) to fix permissions for Illustrator under your regular account and share your observations with us.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hello Luiz, thanks for your response. It seems the user profile is corrupted. I would suggest you use Illustrator under a new user account.

 

I hope it helps.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

I'm sorry, here are the details about my system 

  • Adobe Illustrator 26.2.1 - (I tried using old versions, all come with the same error.)
  • Windows 10
  • I7 6700k / 16gm RAM / R9 290 drive ver 21.5.2
  • No third party app is in use, only chrome 
  • As i said, no menu that should popup is working, it popups for a second and closes automatically, as if i was pressing esc. I can't open a new file, when i open an old file i can't save or close Illustrator as the popup to close/save just closes, and i get stuck there.

Thank you for your reply šŸ™‚

In another admin account it did work flawlessly, as it was up until yesterday. 


I tried following the steps provided to fix permissions, all permission were already granted to my default account. However, I deselected them and applied again just to be sure, but it still did not work šŸ˜ž
