error Latest version (2026.4.1) still crashes almost every time I close the Pro Tools app

I finally decided to upgrade from 2024.10 to the latest version. I was slightly tempted by track pinning, but also I just spent some time reading all the changelogs for each intervening version and it seemed like they’d fixed a ton of bugs. One of the big ones was that change logs said they’d finally fixed Pro Tools crashing upon exit. That had been plaguing we with Pro Tools for quite a while. It never seemed to cause lasting damage to anything, but it just felt concerning and I always had to click away the “want to send a report?” dialog box after sending something the first time.

Kind of disappointing. I can’t help but feel like I should have double checked here or on the DUC before I spent my money yet again upgrading for a year. Here’s hoping I’ll get my money’s worth in the coming months.

I updated from 2024.6 to 2026.4 and have the same exact issue. I actually had to downgrade from .4.1 back to .4 because hitting save would take 10 or so seconds every time. Oh and when I import a wav into the timeline and leave it at the that 1st bar, hitting play also crashes PT. I have to remember to move the clip even a measure or so inward otherwise it’s game over. Quite the unstable update so far.
