My selection tool is EXTREMELY LAGGY in Illustrator

Question

HI,

My Selection tool can't drag objects properly. If I drag one time the loader wheel on my mac pops up. I have to click again for something to happen and then it is like I am holding down the left click at all times. Have troubles in inDesign but After effects and Photoshop works fine.

I am on a completely new Macbook Pro MAX M4 with Seqouia. This is a completely new computer from my company and I had another completely new Macbook PRO M4 just before this with the exact same problem.

I have tried with and without mouse and different mice, and changing things in the app, I don't have any other applications installed (Like Magnet etc). I have also excluded security software to Illustrator.

PLEASE HELP!

OMG! Safe mode worked. So it is probably one of the applications that automatically start when I start the computer? I have a lot of already installed security softwares because it's a corporate comuter so to say
