Thanks Weed. Where do i get Sandra and post the report? I saw the thread but must of missed that part. I'll also peep those other threads.
Anyway, after doing all the optimizations i could find, on top of the video driver update.. heres the latest LatencyMon.

Instructions on a Sandra Report are in the "Help Us Help You" thread.

You need to post a screen grab of the other dialogue from LatencyMon, the one with the horizontal "meters".

Looking at the above report, your worst driver is Dell Data Vault Control. At a minimum, I would uninstall that. Personally, I would just install Windows 10 to remove all traces of any Dell bloatware.

Thank you. I'll get on that and respond in there. I did a screen grab as you mentioned. Afterwards, i removed all the dell bloatware but stopped short of a reinstall. The initial results were good, but I only had a quick session. Will be back this weekend for a longer session and will know for sure.


thanks for the help.

Well it was the Dell bloatware. Machine doesnt freeze up PT every 20 minutes now. I think the takeaway is reinstall windows cleanly if you can!

I was unable to get Pro Tools 2020.12 to load any projects or run properly and wound up doing a System Restore to get back to PT 2020.11 again - which ran properly.

I looked into the compatibility and found that PT 2020.12 is INCOMPATIBLE with my current version of windows (20H2)!!!

Besides wondering why AVID would release an "upgrade" to Pro Tools that was incompatible with the latest version of Windows 10, I started looking on these forums and find that there may be some people who are running it in that version.

Is this the case? The OP stated that he found that he was really running an earlier version of Windows. Is anyone running 20H2 with PT 2020.12???

I contacted AVID and was told that a fix is imminent - that was 6 weeks ago!!!!!
