Illustrator very slow/laggy

[maryb48928469]

Hello,

For about a week I have been experiencing very slow Illustator performance. I am a designer and work with print-ready files on a daily basis that can get as big as a wall. Lately even a simple 10"x10" file causes AI to stop working and graying out showing the "Not Responding" prompt whenever I try to add text, move an element, or basically performing any basic action like saveing/opening a new file. Can anyone please help fix this?

Using Adobe Creative Cloud with all updates to date (Illustrator v26.0.2)

I have an Alienware with 32GB RAM

WIN 11 Pro 64-bit (installed it about 3 weeks ago from WIN 10 Pro)

Core i7 8th Gen

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

Forgot to mention this is on a company-provided laptop. Also, the lag lasts about a minute and does not completely crash the app. Juts lags every action I take and it's getting progressivley worse the longer I keep the app open.

Hi there,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. I would request you to share a few more details like:

• Does updating to v26.0.3 help resolve the slowness?
• Does it lag while working on a specific file?
• Where are your files saved (Network Drive/ System HDD/ Shared Folder on System/ External HDD)?
• When did this start happening? Are there any recent changes made to your system? For example, any antivirus, system updates, plugins, or web extensions installed recently.

Also, would it be possible for you to share a sample document with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link here or via DM. Click on my profile picture and click on the "Send a message" button to send a DM.

We are here to help. We just need more information.

Regards,

Since I have not seen a reply to this, after a couple of days I reached out to my supervisor and a profesional was contracted to troubleshoot the issue, thanks.

Looking forward to your response.

Yes working well now. I did not ask how they troubleshoot, just happy I can resume working without going insane.

I am also having the exact same issue and I wouild love to know what the troubleshooter did!  I have went through all of the Adobe troubleshooting and all that did was mess up my settings even more!
