I am using Protools 2023.3 with an apogee Duet 2 Mac OS Ventura / Mac Studio silicon.

thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.
You should make sure that Pro Tools is actually quitting and hasn’t just stopped responding as an application. There are known issues with Pro Tools not quitting properly.

If you’re trying to shutdown your computer before Pro Tools has actually quit, this may be the reason for the restart.

When quitting Pro Tools make sure it hasn’t stalled by opening the Force Quit window. OPT+CMD+ESC. You’ll probably need to force quit the application. Then you can shut down the computer.
