Re: Pro Tools won't shutdown
My latest work around is to use an Auto Hot Key script that kills the Pro Tools process. I have it pinned to the taskbar, every time I get the error I run the script and the process is killed.
Here's the AHK script: Process, Close, ProTools.exe return |

Re: Pro Tools won't shutdown
I'm sorry......Windows 7? Like 11 year old Windows 7?
Update the OS and save us all the need to try and help someone running a modern version of Protools on an almost antiquated OS. Seriously. |

Re: Pro Tools won't shutdown
Never seen this problem with leaving the system usage meter open. PT always shuts down properly. Yes, philgrab, I am on WIN 7 also with a system that has always been error free and stable.

Re: Pro Tools won't shutdown
Running on Win 10 and PT 2018-10 and PT hangs during its shutdown process. Clicking on the X in the window brings up the window asking if I want to wait for a response or close the program. Clicking on close shuts down PT with the option to send data to Microsoft. Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Pro Tools won't shutdown
Shutdown hangs with a session open or no session open?
With an open session it is very likely caused by a plugin. trash prefs and do usual plugin file removal tests. If it happens with only one session, then likely a corrupt session. Even without an open session it may still be a plugin, so do all the standard stuff there anyhow.... trash prefs and remove all plugin files and see if the problem still happens with just standard Pro Tools plugins. |

Re: Pro Tools won't shutdown
@cplaza This was fixed for me during the last update. I know that probably doesn't help you because you're already on the latest version.
For me it definitely was not a plugin or corrupt session. I tried all that, trashed prefs etc, it didn't work. |

Re: Pro Tools won't shutdown
Haven't run Windows in a while but I remember when I did sometimes Sonar would hang when quitting. I'd look in the lower right of the taskbar and see that it was waiting for a MIDI event that it never got. I wonder if this might be what's happening here?

Re: Pro Tools won't shutdown
Here it is 2020 and still no fix for this. Whimpy software can't even shut itself down properly. Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
