Unable to launch Illustrator 2020 on Windows 10.

[yelapasanctuary]

Hello I have just installed the new 2020 build from cloud and all updates are up to date. When I launch it it starts to open then a box appears in the middle of the app and it never starts just hangs up. I have rebooted and all my other apps like photoshop and everything else work fine. I am running windows 10. Any suggestions? Thank you in adavance.

Hi there,

So sorry to hear about this. I understand how frsutrating it could be. Before we start troubleshooting, I would request if you could share a few more details like:

• Screenshot of application where it gets stuck.
• Does resetting Illustrator Preferences help resolving this issue? If you have not tried that yet, please try following these steps and let us know how it goes.
  

  -Close all Adobe applications.

  -Go to Location C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe

  -Rename Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings folders to Adobe Illustrator.old and Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings.old

  -Launch Illustrator from the Creative Cloud.

  Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and Illustrator will launch with default settings. This way all your old settings will be saved in .old folders and Illustrator will recreate new folders with default settings.

You may also try the steps shared in this help article and share your observations with us.

Regards,

Srishti

I have the same problem... Renaming settings folder doesn´t help.

It crashes there:

What else can I do. I´ve tried to start up for hours...
