What version OS and Illustrator are you using?

 

When did this issue start, is this s new install, or did this happen on an existing installation that was working well before?

It works again! That's not a new install, and it worked well until recently. I do think I didn't anything at all! Still, it's not the first time i'm facing this, so i'm really interested in solving

Hello @fyliy,

 

I see that you're encountering an issue where the Properties panel in Adobe Illustrator remains blank when you select objects, and resetting preferences didn't resolve the problem. Here are some additional steps you can try to address this issue:

 

  • Rename the CEP folder to CEP.old & UXP to UXP.old from the following location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
  • Reinstall Adobe Illustrator: Uninstall Adobe Illustrator completely from your computer using the CC Cleaner tool and then reinstall it from the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

  • Try an Older Version: If the issue still persists, you can try installing an older version of Adobe Illustrator (e.g., version 27.7) to see if the problem is specific to version 27.2. Sometimes, issues are introduced in newer updates.

 

After trying these steps, restart your computer and launch Adobe Illustrator to see if the issue with the blank Properties panel is resolved.

 

I hope one of these solutions helps you get your Properties panel back to working order. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to ask.

 

Best regards,

Anshul Saini


I renamed the folder CEP (didn't find the UXP one), didn't work. I'll try others later, thanks a lot
