Beach ball of death on Mac Studio Max

Hi team, My wife is the designer, but I'm frequently consulted for IT questions. I moved her from her PC laptop to my 2022 Mac Studio Max (2023), which I figured was overkill for what the software requires.

Unfortunately, SUP is constantly hanging or freezing, and Enscape is worse. She's currently working on an urban apartment, so it's not a gigantic project. Any ideas on what might be going on?

Thank you in advance for any experience you might be willing to share!
