Illustrator 2022 crashing using "inflate"

[Jerthemuse]

I've never had a problem until now with Illustrator. I'm running Windows 10 Pro, 32 Gb ram, GeForce RTX 2070, Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz; I've got somewhere around 750 Gb free disk space. And I've never had a problem using any of the effects in Illustrator. Today, it suddenly keeps crashing and running out of memory when I use the 3D and Materials - Inflate effect. I can turn everything else on my computer off, and it still won't render. I can't figure out why all of a sudden. I've restarted the computer, re-started Illustrator, reset Illustrator settings, double-checked my GPU acceleration, and every other setting I can find. I can play any game without issues, yet this crash is now telling me I'm out of memory. Illustrator is the latest version too. Any advice?

Does it work when you inflate a simple small rectangle?
