I haven't moved any links to other folders but when I open some files, the links are not there (it is a blank bounding box). It won't even show the link with a name. It is nameless in the Links panel. This is very frustrating because without the link file name, I can't even relink it if I don't remember every single link. I have not moved anything and this issue has been consistent with multiple illustrator files.

Hi Srishti,
I'm responding because the issue happened again. I'm on Windows 10, Illustrator 24.2.3. This issue is related to any document I had opened before the forced restart. The linked images are saved on the system HDDs (there's 3 of them). Thank you!

I am having a similar issue when I open a file that is in an older version of AI none of my links are found. I have to manually relink each one (!!!!) If I find a folder with multiple missing links it does not auto relink them? I have wasted hours of time relinking files. This happened with AI 2020 as well.

Yesterday night, my computer restarted on its own. When I reopened Illustrator, it gave me recovered files however all of the links in these files are now missing. They didn't even leave a file name for me to search and relink. This is the first time it's happened to me. Previously the recovered files always kept my links.
