A colleague is having issues with Illustrator.
They are working on 2 simple files. Neither particularly large or complex


The PC is hitting 100% CPU usage- All attributed to Illustrator.
The PC specs are higher than recommended.
I have followed the steps provided on both

I am at a loss now. Illustrator is integral to his daily work and as things stand he can't use it without this issue.

Can you offer any further advice?

Zach

The same issue here, why did Adobe make Illustrator worst instead of making it better.

I would try checking preferences>performance

Maybe restart the machine as well?

Re-Starting doesn't help- It may not happen to start, but before too long the same issue occurs.
The performance is fine. I have seen people mention a bug where Illustrator eats the CPU, but the 'solutions' haven't worked in this instance.
