Hi !
Followed your steps but couldn't reproduce here. Try deleting preferences just in case .

Re: 2022.9 -> creating new session : Path to session contains illegal characters ( "
1) did dump the preferences (also tried with PT Prefs 2) - > same error
2) reïnstalled over the excisting version -> Same error 3) uninstalled with cleanmymac and reïnstalled 2022.9-> Same Error 4) uninstalled 2022.9 and reïnstalled 2022.7 -> Solved with 2022.7 so ... 2022.9 does something wrong maybe it's my French- keyboard ? (Belgium/french language setting) so I tried different keyboard settings - still no go ;-( I'll try to install 2022.9 this weekend on my MacPro with HDX and see what the result is. I'll be back ;-)

Re: 2022.9 -> creating new session : Path to session contains illegal characters ( "
found out more about this problem.
1. It still remains in 2022.10 ! 2. When I want to save on the internal disk of the MacBook Pro M1 the problem excist 3. It also excist when you want to "save as"/ "save copy" 4. BUT ! when I save a session on a removeable (USB/Thunderbolt) connected SSD all works great. Conslusion : there is something that blocks PT from saving to the internal Disc in certain cases ! please find included some screenshots of the issue. Please Avid. Could you solve this ?

Interesting. So what is the exact full path you're trying to safe to? Looks like 2022.10 is interpretating the disk name wrongly.

doesn't matter what path. desktop or root directory or even users/documents. as long as it's on the local drive it gives me the error.

Re: 2022.9 -> creating new session : Path to session contains illegal characters ( "
But it does matter what the path is - if you have named your internal hard drive HD"1 then it contains an illegal character. That's why we're asking.
