Apparently Illustrator uses different means of detecting a graphics card than photoshop does. I had the same issue and it was related to WMI being broken on a windows machine. 

Try running msinfo32.exe and if it comes back with an error (doesn't display computer information) it's probably the same issue. 

 

To fix it run create the following script by saving all the text below the line in notepad. Save it as fix.bat then save it in C:\windows\system32\wbem. Open command prompt as administrator then

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing with Illustrator. Looks like you are working on a Windows machine. Try setting NVidia as default Graphic card (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7DrQmDXHuY) on your machine and then restart the system. 

 

Let us know if this helps or if you have any further questions.

 

Regards,

Srishti

today i'am going to show you how to use NVIDIA gpu on your laptop to become default graphics card, as we know intel hd graphic are set to default gpu if we're not setting nvidia as main gpu. so there few setting we need to change to set our gpu to nvidia as default graphic card! or main gpu / main

Same Problem here. I got like 3 weeks looking for solution to this problem. I use to work with my internal Intel UHD 630 with no problem. Then Nvidia 1060TI with no problem. Now I notice Illustrator stopped to recognize any of my GPUS. Nvidia, Intel, AMD Radeon 590.

I've tried to update my drivers, Windows, the Windows App fix thingy, Lower resolution... etc. 

Adobe Photoshop works fine and detects my GPU. So do After Effects, Premier, Cinema 4D...

 

Illustrator System Info report shows my GPUs: it shows GPUS model, type, mem, displays, etc. This problem has been happening since some time ago to many people with  no reason or solution. 

 

Pls, Help!

I alse tried that uselessly :'( I reseted the preference on Panel, and also holding Shift/Ctrl. I also disconnected one my GPU. I was about to reinstall windows but, c'mmon, all softwares and the rest of Adobe Suite works fine with my gpu. Forum info is barely useful. And there is not an Official statement that explain what is causing this.

If you are using Optimus, try using NVIDIA's control panel to prioritize NVIDIA for the graphics processor settings.
Although irregular, there is also a way to stop Intel UHD in Device Manager.

 

Of course, updating NVIDIA drivers to the latest, or slightly older, is essential.

Open command prompt as administrator then type cd C:\windows\system32\wbem and hit enter. Now type fix.bat and let the script run. It might take a few minutes to register all the components. Once it's done restart the computer and it should work now.

This solution worked perfectly, thank you for posting such clear instructions!

I tried everything else - fresh install of preferences, fresh illustrator install, clean graphics drivers (studio & regular), setting high-performance programs in the Graphics settings, etc. Nothing worked until I tried this.
