adobe illustrator stops saving after 30%

Trying to save a document in Adobe illustrator when saving document will process up to 30% then stops.
With saving in a different file format the document will save after illustrator states it has stopped responding then it will re-engage with the save.
I have updated the software to the latest version. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled software and none of us has fixed the issue.
Please can you advise

Hit the same 30% issue randomly while saving in latest version, Sept 2025.
Turns out Illy couldn't access enough RAM as my C drive was too full. Hope that helps others.
