Unable to create a New Document in Adobe Illustrator

New Here ,
Nov 12, 2025 Nov 12, 2025

Hi there, I have not opened AI for a while and I am now unable to create a new document as the screen does not show any option for a blank custom document. The screen now only shows template options and the 'Creat' button is not highlighted. Please see the screenshot attached. Many thanks for your help in advance!

As a workaround you can try if in Preferences checking "Use legacy "File New" interface" helps.
