I'm having the same issue, trying to see if there's any solution...

The last time I had weird issues with elastic I had to get a guy from AVID to take control of my computer to delete a load of weird AVID hidden files.

I had a client with me yesterday, he said, in all seriousness, "So is ProTools going to be obsolete soon?" Sometimes when I get issues with Elastic I wonder the same thing.

I'm having similar problems. My machine is not responding every 20 seconds or so and stopping and then starting about two seconds after the music stops.
I purchased Pro Tools 2022.9 and upgraded 2 days ago. It worked the first and second day but now I can't playback a session without it stopping and giving me the message 'Not responding'. I pull up the task manager and without any music playing or recording, Pro Tools will show 'Not responding' in the Task Manager.

Windows 10
Creation Station (Sweetwater) Intel I-7 32Gb RAM
Pro Tools 2022.9
Behringer Wing
Izotope Ozone 10

For people like me who didn't see the fix in the links below I got it from Avid support.

"It's typically the amount of plug-ins causing this while trying to update the pref.

How many in your Plug-Ins folder?

Pull the Plug-Ins folder from /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins and the InstalledAAXPlugIns file from /Users/*username*/Library/Preferences/Avid/Pro Tools both onto the desktop.
Launch PT then quit
Copy some of the plugins from the folder on your desktop to the new Plug-Ins folder in /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/
Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you've copied all back"

This got me back up and running. It turns out there was one plugin that was corrupting the reference to the folder.

Hope it helps!
