Windows 10 is constantly updating itself. CS6 is not supported for Windows 10. If you have been working with it up to now then you should consider that lucky.
I've seen this problem presented a few times recently and it seems to coincide with the latest (automatic) updates that have been released for Windows 10. I'm betting that it is the updates to the OS which are affecting your CS6. The most probable solutions are to either roll back your operating system to pre-Windows 10 (future updates will only make things worse) or get a subscription to Creative Cloud and update to the latest version of Illustrator.It should also be pointed out that the automatic updating for Windows 10 does not seem to have any official way of turning it off. Microsoft has also announced that from now on their OS will always be called Windows 10 but as it keeps updating itself the OS will eventually bear little resemblance to its original release.

Microsoft has also announced that from now on their OS will always be called Windows 10 but as it keeps updating itself the OS will eventually bear little resemblance to its original release. It may be part of WIN10 however, after days of frustration found the fix. It is some fonts that causing the issue. Either it can load two many fonts (I had about 2500) in the fonts directory or there are corrupted fonts (or Type 1 fonts PSF) in the fonts directory.
I have deleted all the fonts in the Windows Fonts directory and added back only the default fonts, Illustrator CS6 font drop down start working. Then I copy back (install) all fonts I had from the backup, the font drop down stop working. Then I deleted about half of the fonts from the Windows fonts director, here you go. Fonts drop down start working. I have repeatedly test to simulated issue and clearly see it's directly connected to Fonts.
Andy mckee youtube. Finally, I have cleaned up lots of fonts that I do not needed from the Windows Fonts directory, and got the Illustrator to work like before. Try this and see yourself. OK folks, this has NOTHING to do with windows updates.
SchriebI hope this helps and hope that engineers quite taking the 'we don't support that because MS sucks' approach.No engineer answered in this thread. Not even staff.An no one said anything shameful about Windows either. The only problem is with a system that's too new for that version. It has never been tested and will never be tested (the same goes for Mac OS btw and you will read the exact same remarks about CS 6 on Mac OS Sierra and up).Basically what was working for you might or might not work for everyone else.
