Illustrator on macOS 26.5 hanging on start

In the past few weeks I'm seeing Adobe Illustrator both 2025 and 2026 are not responding on mac at start up. It's variable, yesterday it was fine, today it's not. Extremely unproductive and disruptive.

Sometimes the first document selection screen appears but then goes to Not Responding.

macOS 26.5
M2
