It does this every 5 minutes or so. Working is impossible.

Before anyone answers, this is what I already tried:

- Made sure my folder permissions are set to Read and Write, basically Illustrator has full access.

- Tried working off line

- stopped my Printer Spooler service.

- reinstalled my system.

    Same problem, already cleaned and installaed more than once, asked remote support and all I got was to reinstall video drivers but still somehow during working the SW crashes.

    Any usefull solution?

    I gave up.

    Adobe staff was useless asking me idiotic questions like "Make sure you have enough room on your hard drive" or "Update your card drivers".

    I straight up stopped using illustrator and switched to Corel, which can export stuff I need to usable formats, is waaay more stable and and compatible with my hardware and after I got used to it, has way better work flow.

    Is this already the updated version 21.0.1 or 21.0.2 of Illustrator?

    If not: can you try and update?

    If so: do you have third party plugins?

    A wacom?

    a printer?

    font management?

    At which point of the launching routine does it crash? What does it read in the startup screen?

    Did it ever work?

    - It's a 21.0.2.

    - I don't use plugins

    - I use the newest Wacom Pro - tried disabling it as well as a hardware and a service driver.

    - I have a network printer. As mentioned above I already tried stopping the Printer Spooler as well as network access so the Illustrator doesnt try to access it.

    - No font management.

    So there's no printer at the moment?

    Can you try and install a PDF printer?
