I tried uninstalling and reinstalling apps, but still, when I open them they consume too much memory and get stuck. I even restarted the Mac (Running M1 Max 32GB 1tB - remaining 400 GB) I need help on what to do. I have pending projects that are due soon. I even updated to the latest Mac OS (
Version 14.6 (23G80).

@iammikedeleon not enough RAM....with Generative AI in many of the applications, those are huge RAM sucking apps. So, quit the one s you don't need, and you should be fine...and if you have music or video streaming in the background too!

Hello @iammikedeleon,
We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind trying to run Illustrator under Safe Mode (Windows / macOS) and checking if it helps? Also, try running Illustrator under a different administrator account (Windows / macOS) and share your observations.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Anubhav

You are just opening them and they do this?
But even when there are projects open, they shouldn't do that.
Having too many apps open will slow you down, but they shouldn't freeze. I'm having those open sometimes for days (but also I'm not running Sonoma).
Are you running any Window manager in your system? Or a clipboard manager?
Do you have a lot of fonts installed? Third party plugins in any of the apps?
Have you experienced any issues with files you have in Creative Cloud lately?
Have you experienced any other issues that could point to a cause?
