Hi all-
Everytime I open illustrator I am now facing a new issue. I get a dialgot box with a JavaSCript Alrt. It states: Error: aborted.
I can click OK but it will keep popping up forever. There is no way to get rid of it, even after a restart.
Not sure what has caused this, anyone else?

I have the same problem, but I can use the program after close around 10-30 JavaScript Alert windows.
Please help.

Hello @treblechef73,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind confirming the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, so I can check this with the team? Also, try the following steps to reinstall Illustrator to check if they help:
- Close all Adobe applications
- Remove Illustrator using the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool (https://adobe.ly/40J7yNP)
- Reinstall Illustrator using the Creative Cloud Desktop application (https://adobe.ly/40J7zRT)
- Relaunch Illustrator
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Was a resolution ever found for this bug? I have this exact error showing up every single time I open Illustrator.
I've resorted to tucking it into the corner of the screen to continue working.

Apologies for the inconvenience. Please navigate to the following location, delete the Illustrator 2025 folder, and restart the app:

Let us know if this helps!
