PT Restarts after Exiting, Endless Loop...?

[junkgear]

So you open PT, don't load any session and just close PT and it will restart?
Or, does this only happen when a session is loaded?

Same thing here. I can close a session or not and quit PT and it restarts everytime.

Still doing it...
Was there ever a fix or work around for this?
Not losing anything, just aggravating.

Does Pro Tools still restart if you save with (Control+S), then exit with (Alt+F4)?

Thanks, I'll try that.

I'm afraid to even post this for fear of jinxing myself, but I think I was able to find a solution after suffering this annoying problem for months.

I followed these instructions. It's weird that I did not try this before, because I'm well aware of trashing prefs as is everyone else by now.

When I loaded up Pro Tools for the first time after that, during the boot up process, it couldn't find the FB360 plugin, which I think I had manually uninstalled at some point. So I clicked "Yes" to move it to the Unused plugins folder.

Now my Pro Tools does not re-open itself after I attempt to close it. I am happy.

to unKJE:
nope, didn't work.

Thanks for responding.

It worked for a couple days then started doing it again until I followed those same steps.

Hi, guys!

The last two days Pro Tools 2019.6 (that I run Win 10) starts by itself ten seconds after being closed?
Even after restarting the PC - it starts itself. It is not from the start-up settings, I checked and PT is not set to start-up with Windows.
If I work with PT and close it when done - just 10 seconds after - it starts again by itself without me event touching the PC, clicking on it's icon or something like that. Just starts on it's own every time I close it. what is this?!

Any solution or advise?

Cheers
