Illustrator Splash Screen Not Responding, Causing Illustrator to Crash At Launch

Hi, all. Has anyone ever faced this problem where Illustrator's splash screen is unresponsive? The splash screen status would be stuck at "initialising" and blacks out after a while. I checked my task manager and saw Adobe's crash report program was active, so I guess it crashed but I don't know why bcoz even Adobe's own diagnostic tool would go into the "not responding" state when it was triggered. I think I tried almost all the solutions I could find on the forums, including renaming the preference file in C:/, renaming the media core file, uninstalling and reinstalling, updating to a newer version of AI and rolling back to older versions. None of them worked. Not sure if it was a foreshadowing, but Adobe would always crash when closing some weeks prior to this current problem. Not sure if this an issue with AI's software or my laptop system. Any ideas?

I am having the same issue, already ask for 3 agents to help and not 1 could help to fix it.
I faced the issue 2 months ago, an agent helped me deal with it. But it reaccured this week.
I was told to even reach out to microsoft, but how am I suppose to ask microsoft it the problem is from adobe?
It is super frustrating. Anyone able to provide help?

    Sorry, but that's not in any way useful if you don't provide any actual system info and crash details from the Event Viewer or the Adobe logs.

    I see. Where are the log files usually stored? I'm seeing a lot of log files when I search the Adobe folder in File Explore, but I'm not entirely sure which to pick.
