How to Fix Adobe Illustrator CC Crashing Step 1 to Step 5 Go to Edit Go to Preferences Go to General Go to Performance and Uncheck the GPU Performance box. Go to File Handling & Clipboard then below the (Data Recovery) by default it is set to save every 2 minutes. I recommend changing it to save every 10 minutes or you can Uncheck the (Automatically Save Recovery Data Every:) box if you would like. Note: if you uncheck the (Automatically Save Recovery Data Every:) box, you just need to save your work very often while you are working on your project. Thanks, again
