Solidworks 2024 exits sketches & features randomly

Whenever I am in a feature or a sketch it is exited unprompted seemingly at random. Really annoying and making everything take way too long. frequently happens when in-putting data for linear patterns, whenever I am trying to mate parts, or when selecting wedlments. 

 

Has anyone experienced this or found a solution? It will exit the same command 3-4 times in a row.. For more complicated mating I have to do it in multiple stages.. it's just not efficient and its driving me a little crazy.

 

My work is using solidworks to design railing systems, which are fairly large in scale. but not overly complicated..

 

Let me know if you have any suggestions, or if it my work computer needs an upgrade to run it more smoothly.
