Re: PT 2020.12 Occasionally stopping playing - Windows update service?
Quote:
Great Tip! Happy New Year, Steve – and thanks for all your help in the past – may 2021 be good for you and all yours – including your wonderful TRASHER app! I love my Lenovo W520’s small network adapter ON-OFF switch on the front-left side panel! It’s normally switched OFF for Pro Tools It’s presently permanently switched OFF for everything, until Pro Tools supports Windows 10, version 20H2 In Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools I click on “System Configuration” In the “Services” Tab in “System Configuration”, I check the box: “Hide all Microsoft services” – click the word “Manufacturer” at the top – then uncheck the lot – except Apple’s “Bonjour Service”, Avid’s “Mbox Pro Audio Device”, Conexant Systems Inc. (my on-board Audio) “Conexant Audio Message” and PACE Anti-Piracy Inc.’s “PACE Licenses Services”. Hit “Apply” then “OK” Restart computer (However, DUC-Meister Deluxe (Darryl Ramm), whose diverse opinions are highly respected, advises against this move. I must ask Darryl: “Why is this?”)

Re: PT 2020.12 Occasionally stopping playing - Windows update service?
Uh. I am not sure of the exact reference here, but generally I am a fan of going with Windows 10 Pro and using that to disable those toxic updates. I think I have suggested not trying to mess around and doing it “properly”. Do what works for you but doing nothing and being screwed over by Windows updates is not fun.

Perhaps I've just been lucky, but Windows updates have not negatively affected Pro Tools for me in recent history. I'm currently up to date, and have no issues.

Since I now use Processor Affinity, no issues with any update. I do have updates turned off on my Audio computer, but update as soon as I know there is one - after making an image I can restore that removes the update, just in case. As always, YMMV.

Re: PT 2020.12 Occasionally stopping playing - Windows update service?
Hi Guys - I have a 2020.11 install on a new windows machine (completely patched) and i'm getting intermittent play back/record stoppages. When it happens, it slowly lurches play forward and becomes completely unresponsive. Or it stops mid recording take.
It happens almost ALL the time, esp if PT sits open for a while. When this happens, no error messages are displayed and the CPU/Memory are not pegged. In fact barely used. I can post all the specs of my machine but suffice to say, its faster than another machine i have and it never has issues. Both are on version 20H2. The only difference is this new machine does not have internet connectivity. Could version 20H2 of windows be to blame? If thats the case, is there any indication that version 20H2 will be supported or directions to downgrade OS? thanks. |

A smart practice.

No issues with 20H2 here.

Hey - So i did as you suggested.. two things I found.. First i'm not actually on version 20H2 on this machine. But i did upgrade to 2020.12 in hopes it would help. No dice. It froze up on a brand new session just one track playing, no plugins. I ran Latency Mon and it said this. I'm not sure what driver i'm looking for, maybe NVidea or igcctray.exe? Quote:
