2022.10: Can't close, save, save as...

[home_studio]

Hi,
This is the 3rd time it happens to me:
Working on a sessions and I loose almost all of the File menu commands.
Cant close session, save, save as, save copy in etc.
My license is on an iLok.
Any Ideas?
Luckily the auto save works so I can force quit pro tools and open from backup.

So, you also can't quit PT?
Can you do anything in PT? Or is it frozen?

From your screenshot it looks like my menu when there is no session open…

Can't you see the tracks in the bg?
Of course there's a session running.
I can edit, play, record, automation.
I cant do the grayed commands.

OK, sorry for trying to help.
I'll not bother again.

Sorry, that wasn't my intention.
It's just obvious that the tracks are there.
Sorry if you got somewhat negative vibe.

Does the problem happen in classic view also?

I get this as well. Also on Mojave. ( http://duc.avid.com/showpost.php?p=2651208&postcount=6 )

Usual tactic : shrug shoulders, restart ProTools, curse and moan. (Rinse and repeat.)

Have you tried deleting the preferences?

I had some similar issues with 2022.9 and I think it may have had something to do with a message window in Pro Tools that had popped open, or was suppose to have opened but hidden behind the mix or edit windows. It was like it was waiting for me to close the window, but it wasn't there. Sorry, I wish I could remember what was triggering the message - it did actually happen a couple of times where I couldn't access the menus, but once I minimized the mix/edit windows I could see and close the message and continue working. It was just odd that sometimes it did the same thing but I couldn't locate the message window and couldn't do anything other than a Force Quit.
