Looks from your ScreenShot, file launches in Photoshop and not Illustrator. Is file extension: .png, .jpeg?

No, it's an .ai file and that is a message generated by Illustrator. I should mention that I was previously using version 24.01 and this is 24.1 and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it

I just downgraded Illustrator to 24.01 and the problem went away. Not sure where that leaves me if all future versions of Illustrator have this problem.

You could try and in preferences > Performance turn off the draw in realtime feature.

I'm pretty sure I didn't have that enabled to begin with but I can't check now since it's not an option in the version I'm now running. At some point I can install the latest version again and check that

I went ahead and upgraded to 24.1.2 and checked that setting in Preferences. Turns out it was already off and did not solve the problem. Just for good measure, I turned it on, quit Illustrator, launched it again and turned it off, quit Illustrator and launched it again. No difference. I have noticed that it seems to bring up that progress bar once for each linked image I have in the file. We do mostly packaging files in Illustrator and can have over a dozen linked images, which makes the file that much slower to open. *sigh* back to 24.0.1 for now.
