Same Gude Log issue that has never been solved by Adobe

Hello,

Adobe marked this issue solved on another discussion, but IT IS NOT SOLVED. So I had to start a new discussion about the same issue.

 

I did change Proxy settings etc., tried all possible solutions recommended by Adobe on the previous discussion and I am still having gude log files created all over in my folders. I uninstalled my Adobe programs, reinstalled, keeping them updated but gude log issue is still here.

 

I had no issue with my Proxy settings and Adobe before. Can you please solve this? At least don't mark as solved when it is not. Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

 

I wanted to provide an update regarding the "gude log" file issue that has been affecting you all. As some of you may be aware, we have been working to address this issue.

 

We encourage you all to update to the latest Illustrator version (v27.3.1) and let me know if you continue to experience any issues.

 

Best,

I was able to stop the gude log files by having this preference checked on:
General tab / Show the Home Screen when no Docs are Open.
I would prefer to have it off, but having the Home screen is better than dealing with the gude files.
I still consider this a bug and hope that it will get fixed.

Now, illustrator is not creating gude log files anymore. I've been keeping eye on them and it has been whole "gude log-free" weeks, after the last Adobe update. (It happened few times right after the update though, I checked the next day) Btw, I didn't change/reset anything.

 

Old gude.log text files are still in the folders. Even if I double-click to open the illustrator file, gude log file doesn't update itself anymore. Looks like it is fixed for me!

Adobe offers to have collaborative live session, so they can see the issue on a specific computer. I've done that before with some other issue and it was very helpful. I recommend sending a private message to one of the Adobe employees, his name is Anshul_Saini . They respond very quickly. Hopefully they will solve your issue quickly as well. : )

Hello,

I stumbled across this website with a very detailed writeup (What to do when a mysterious log file occurs when Illustrator is started ) after experiencing this issue, what has “worked” for me for now is resetting my preferences in Illustrator. Maybe Adobe devs can pinpoint the issue somewhere from this persons research.
