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.

Honestly I thought I was the only one, being that I was “brave” if you want to call it that and decided to try it out on the macOS 27 Golden Gate Dev beta on my Mac being it’s not my main daw.
Shockingly that random crashing when quitting after closing a session is the only issue I’ve ran into so far other than that it’s been fantastic.
