I am new to hashcat and , i tried following hashcat command ,
  • hashcat.exe -m 5600 -a 3 hash.txt wordlist.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

But it stuck saying that

"Generated bitmap tables" . 

but if i run without brute force mode it will run. but getting exhausted.(no word getting matched). My PC doesn't have separate GPU. 16GB RAM, I5 8th Gen PC.

What would be the issue. Is that due to brute force mode load cannot be handled by CPU it self. Please give me a solution.
You have to use either a mask or a wordlist, not both at the same time.
hashcat.exe -m 5600 -a 3 hash.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a
or
hashcat.exe -m 5600 -a 0 hash.txt wordlist.txt

You can do hybrid attack, but your mask is too big: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=hybrid_attack
