Illustrator crashing on M1 Mac mini (OS Big Sur)

[Natashja5FD7]

We are having major issues with Illustrator incredibly slow and often crashing on our new M1 Mac Mini (2020)
Running AI 26.0.1
OS Big Sur.

Read through other threads but nothing helps. What can we try? Any help would be much appreciated.

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Illustrator forum so that proper help can be offered.
