I've been having this problem for at least a month or so, but recently it has gotten way worse! Every time I use Illustrator, no matter the file type/size/specs, it would freeze randomly. I cant press anything, I can't save. The only way out is the force quit. This was my "manageable" problem since the files usually were recovered. However, note it is getting way worse. It is freezing multiple times a session and even crashing now. It says it cannot save due to errors or just full on crashes mid save. I am also now even having launch problems!

The freezing is definitely what happens most often. But the crashing, freezing, inability to save, and now launch problems are inhibiting my everyday work.

I have never had a problem like this before until 2024, please help!!! I have a 2023 Macbook Pro with the M2 that is currently running Sonoma 14.3.1 and Illustrator 2024.

I don't have any weird or corrupt files to my knowledge, and this happens no matter how big or small the file I am working on. I am sick of the freezing, crashes and spinning wheel of death :(
