The New Document dialog box in CC 2017 is not an improvement.

[DWCastillo]

When creating a new document, is there a way to tell Illustrator to open the "More Settings" window by default instead of this nonsense?  All the added and absolutely unnecessary menu dives that Adobe has been introducing with seemingly each new iteration of CC software is extremely frustrating.  This needless simplification-not-simplification has got to stop.

Adobe: Click, and click some more.

You can go to Preferences and check the "Use Legacy "File New" Interface

Thank you soooooo much for helping us get rid of that time consuming nonsense

Hi,

System is Windows 2010 and the virus protection by Avast. Computer HP 16 GB RAM, Intel i5, new in our firm.

I back to the CC 2015, but it is not a solution, I want the CC 2017

Can you halp me ?

Did you try:

Preferences and check the "Use Legacy "File New" Interface

[Monika Gause]

Avast is a problem in itself. Has caused many issues. Can you try and deactivate or uninstall it?

I know I'm late, but this made my day...week...year. It was literally quicker to open an existing file, delete everything and save as the project I'm working on. I really wish Illustrator had an iPhone 6s template...said no one ever.
