Illustrator Preference File Corrupt v.27.1.1

While opening Adobe Illustrator, I get the following message:

The Preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings.

The corrupt file will be backed up as: Adobe Illustrator Prefs.err

I am using Windows 10 and was currently on version 27.1.1

Is there any hope of restoring my preferences from the .err file? How do I even find the location?

Not sure why this happened, but can't seem to find any solutions for later versions of Illustrator. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Steve

Please sroll further down, there you'll find all infos.

Ok I was able to get most of the Preferences Back. I copied the preferences file from a previous version (v26) and pasted it into the v27 location.

Thanks for your help Monika!

Have you tried seaching for .err in windows search bar ?

Yes I did try that. No luck. Do you know where the Preferences files are stored?
