Illustrator v26.4.1 freezes with progress / processing bar

Hello, everyone. This is an issue which has just started today, Monday, August 8th, 2022. I launch Illustrator, but when I do anything that opens a dialog box, I get a progress bar with the word Progress, and below it, Processing...  

Sometimes if I click off of Illustrator and click back on the interface the progress bar goes away, but it comes back a few moments later. I tried restarting Illustrator, restarting the computer (Windows 10), as well as deleting the Illustrator preferences. 

Here is a screenshot of the progress bar and the task manager window. The CPU and Memory usage seems unusually high for an empty document.

I have contacted the IT administrator, but thought I would check with the community too.

              I'm using Windows 10 and the Illustrator 26.4.1. When creating a new file and trying to adjust how the artboards are laid out, a "Progress" window automatically pops up and gets stuck "Processing". The art boards are blank. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator and the problem continues to occurr.

              support jumped on to my computer and installed an earlier version. Would love to be back with the most recent version asap. Anyone know if the bug is fixed?
