Fellow Windows users, I am well aware sleep is not supported. I am pretty they are referring to not letting the computer go to sleep while ProTools is running. That's obvious to not do. We are not talking about that. Stop telling me that sleep is not supported.



I've had multiple machines with multiple versions of Windows and PT work great for years going to sleep and launching PT after waking up the computer. There's no reason this shouldn't work, and it has worked great for decades. It's just a new bug / quirk or whatever you want to call it in the latest release 2021.10 on my machine.


I am aware of how to trouble shoot things and have done so many times. This is not worth the time or effort since it's only an extra 30 - 45 seconds to quit PT and re-launch coming out of sleep. I don't put the computer to sleep very often anyway.


I only wanted to report the behavior to AVID. That's it.

No, they are referring to it as do not do it ever, period.

I think disabling sleep is more for the audio interface than Pro Tools (asuming Pro Tools is not running when the PC goes to sleep).

But I've never had my recording PC go to sleep, so I can't verify that..

As in “Doctor, it hurts when I do this.” “Then don’t do that.”
If the recommendation is “everything always on,” then…well, you know.

Admittedly I don't run windows and I never allow the computer to go to sleep

BUT none the less .
I am confused (the bold seems contradictory, or I am not understanding your verbiage ) if you haven't quit PT, isn't still running ?

Perform all the recommended tweaks and see if it helps. If it does, you are free to restore improper settings if you wish, but you will know exactly what to do if that puts things back to problematic.

Well said
