I am having this problem running Illustrator 28 on a Windows 11 machine (Surface Pro). No error message. When in this state, it won't do ANYTHING but only beeps at me. I have to use Esc to get any response. I agree that this is NOT an acceptable situation, and it sounds like it has been around for over 2 years without being fixed (it is now October 2023).
