I was running 10.13.4 and it was nothing but nightmares. Apple had delivered me a new MAcPro with that OS. I took the jump to .6 and would not advise it. I've been in regular contact with both Avid support and UAD with regular crashes that no once can explain. They started as just crashes when launching UAD plugs but I'm not seeing them from just about every manufacturer from Waves to Oeksound. I've performed all the standard troubleshooting and clean up options with prefs and such but nothing has helped. Pro tools will randomly quit when a plug is launched. Avid has advised that they are seeing access violations in the crash logs but haven't specified more. Im about to wipe and go back to .3 but have been trying to slug along and wake up to a new update with a solution that doesn't involve wiping and starting over. Stay safe, when its clear to use they will advise... just my .02

It sounds like you may need to force the Macintosh system drive to rescan and restore preferences. I had a similar issue and that fixed the access violations for me. It happened for me when I was going from Sierra to High Sierra. I find 10.13.6 to be very stable with 2018.7 but I also find 10.12.6 to be even better overall on my system. So I have an backup image of both but I am staying on 10.12.6 as long as possible.

Looks good though, no glitches here.
Still no update there, last compatibility edit was 29th August and still big warning about High Sierra upgrades.

I decided not to install Pro Tools on my imac Pro for now, I had done a bunch of tests for support and installed every aax plugin demo in existence that i didn't own, (performance tests at low buffers), so i formatted the machine and installed 10.13.6 as it came from Apple, and all i have installed for now is Cubase and Logic.

Reason (sorry for the OT), PT on mac takes over all plugin folders, VST and AU plugins become "Pro tools" objects, it has driven me crazy for 2 years, VST and AU have nothing to do with Avid and I am *certain* it's the most arbitrary fix that coders on their level could knock out in 10 minutes if they bothered.. Simply to stop telling pro tools to change the icons of VST and AU plugins and to register them to open Pro Tools on a double click.

Anyway, on the other side, performance was similar for me on the imac pro at 64 and 32 buffers, as it was on the macbook pro with sierra at 32 or 64 buffers.. In other words, bad when playing VI's at low latency. All cores would get activated for just one monitored VI, and 128 buffer fixed it.. so same on High Sierra as Sierra here, but certainly no worse, and I could not see a single reason why 10.13.6 isn't officially qualified. Not one. That's just weird.

Maybe they want to wait until macOS Mojave is released, then put out a PT2018.9 which supports 10.13.6 but nobody cares because the "when Mojave will be supported?" thread is hot...

Anyone updated High Sierra 10.13.6 with Apple’s latest “Supplementary 2” update?

did this issue interfere with the operation of Cubase at all? as I'm looking at doing a possible duel install of PT 2018.7 and Cubase Pro 9.5

You can still have Cubase and PT on the same drive, we have 5 DAW's on the same drive and have never needed to change or add any folders etc.
