Every time I am working in Illustrator & switch to a different app, Illustrator will hang when I return causing me to wait prior to returning to my work. So, for example if I am working on an illustration then go to google chrome to look at something online then return to my work in Illustrator it will hang & become unresponsive for a little bit of time (1 - 2 minutes) after waiting I can continue to work . I have already followed the steps outline by Adobe (found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-illustrator-performance-windows.html) to increase performance within the app & it has not alleviated any symptoms. Illustrator does works well when I am in it just to note.

My system specifications:
8600k
16GB of ram
GTX 1080
512GB NVME
Windows 10
Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe Illustrator 22.1

by no means is my system not capable of handling the tasks thrown at it.
