Freezing when saving as SVG
Recently (last 2-3 days) I am almost unable to save AI files as SVG. Illustrator either crashes completely, or freezes for several minutes. This has never been an issue for me. I'm on a Dell with Intel i7-7700 and Windows 10. I have no issues using Photoshop, FrameMaker, or InDesign.
The SVG issue is most pressing, I'm trying to save 500+ AI files as SVG and it's eating up quite a lot of time waiting for it to unfreeze.
I'm using Illustrator CC 23.1.

The issue is resolved by user themselves, by changing the font subletting options. If you have a similar issue, but the solution doesn’t work for you, please log it anew.

Never mind, I found the issue for the saving problem. Some how the save dialog changed the Subsetting drop down to "all glyphs" instead of "use system fonts". That made the files huge.
I have not experienced the second issue today, but did not have any particular solution to it.
