Default Auto Backup/Save causing GUI pause?

Auto Backup/Save causing GUI pause?

I've noticed the GUI freezing temporarily every know and again.
When I disabled the Auto Backup, the pauses go away.
Anyone seeing the same thing?

Can someone suggest possibly a different Auto Backup setting that won't pause the GUI?

Thank you!

Never see that here and I have auto-save set for every 2 minutes. Is your computer under-powered?

I have the same problem. Tried everything under the sun. Plenty of memory, power, disabled any acceleration on the display adapter. I disabled backup and that didn't help. If you get this fixed let me know.

Do your meters freeze if you move a send around?

make sure of this...

Disable Desktop Composition

This troubleshooting step will disable Windows Aero and force the computer to run the Windows Basic theme while Pro Tools is running, reducing complex graphic processing during Pro Tools operation. This can help resolve pops and clicks during playback and record, as well as optimize the system further for use with Pro Tools. This is generally only necessary with older graphics cards that do not support the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM).
  • Right-click the Pro Tools icon on your desktop or Start menu.
  • Choose Properties.
  • Click on the Compatibility tab.
  • Check the box that says ‘Disable desktop composition.’
  • Click Apply and then OK.
  • Upon launching Pro Tools, you will get a notification at the bottom of your screen telling you that the graphics theme has changed. Click on that message and then check "Don't show this message" to prevent this message from popping up every time you launch Pro Tools.
i actually disabled the service for all things W7 thru the local services menu.

I've done all the optimisations that Avid recommend and still it still freezes

This happens only with large sessions (more then 10MB session file). The video playback is freezing too. Very annoying, especially if you are with the director in the room for a screening of the sound work. They become nervous when they see those freezes. they think there is something wrong with the video.
