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.
I have also been getting an issue with opening AI files and getting an error saying "Can't open file because window is too small", and it randomly shrinks Illustrator to where you just see the file/edit tool bar. I always maximize the window when working. It does this when I open from Windows Explorer, I don't think I've had that issue when opening from Illustrator. The files I'm opening are only 3.5" x 1" text banners, no graphics.
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.
Edited to add: I'm using Illustrator CC 23.1.

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.
