Illustrator Crashing on Quit - MacBook Pro 16"

[johnnymac77]

I have a new MacBook Pro 16" - I migrated all my stuff from the old 2018 MacBook Pro, and ever since then both Illustrator and InDesign crash on quit. This is even after the latest Illustrator that I installed this morning. Any help is appreciated!

Hi. Have you tried resetting the preferences of Ai and Id?

I also had it crash after working at a coffee shop, closing the lid, and upon arriving to my office and opening the laptop, Illustrator crashes and I lost unsaved work.

I just bought a MacBook Pro 16" and migrated everything from my old MacBook Pro 13", too. Now I am having this same problem.
