Default Video engine crashes when addl. screen is turned on

I'm on a Mac Pro 2019 with a Radeon Pro W5700X 16GB.
I have three screens attached, two of which I use most of the time, the third one (4K TV) isn't turned on all the time.
When I do turn it on while PT is open, the video engine immediately crashes and takes PT with it. Have to force close and restart PT, from then on no issues.


Has been like that with all PT releases and all OS versions since I bought the Mac Pro in 2020.

Turn on the TV before starting Pro Tools?? I don't know - may be one of those issues where that's the only workaround using that hardware combination.

Sure, it's just a convenience thing and certainly not expected behavior.

Not a show stopper but worth mentioning as it's a bug.

I've noticed this for years. I just chalk it up to Pro Tools not liking changes to the GPU while open. Definitely not convenient, but not a show stopper for me.
