Illustrator CC 2014 saves files, but won't recognise they are saved

Question

Hi
After updating Illustrator last week, and ever since there have been issues when saving files.
When a file is saved (both save and save as) Illustrator isn’t recognising that the file is saved. The red button in the top left of the window still has the dot in it, and when quitting I’m asked if I want to save the file, even though it has just been saved.
However upon checking the file, it has been saved, and the file is fine when re-opened, so it seems that it is an Illustrator recognition issue.
After a quick search I haven’t really found anyone with the same problem, but saw that a few other folk are having save issues on files using fonts (which most of my files have).
Any help appreciated as this is rather frustrating.
Thanks.
Dan.

skyrokkit,
In this case, parts of the list may be relevant, maybe also items 1) and 11) in 5).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
