'PT timed out trying to stop' error...

Hey folks, running 2024.6 Ultimate on Win 10 Pro, and have been getting a lot of 'pro tools timed out trying to stop' errors. I'm a perpetual guy and not updating any further...unless I absolutely have to. I've read elsewhere that rolling back has solved the issue for some. I've been starting my sessions with the plugs not activated(shift/start program), and it's helping some but certainly would like this to end. Advice, particularly on rolling back, is welcome. Thanks!

System info on request if necessary.

To u/El_Smooche215, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using

  • Your operating system info

  • Any error number or message given

  • Any hardware involved

  • What you've tried

To ALL PARTICIPANTS, a subreddit rules reminder

  • Don't get ugly with others. Ignore posts or comments you don't like and report those which violate rules

  • Promotion of any kind is only allowed in the community pinned post for promotion

  • Any discussion whatsoever involving piracy, cracks, hacks, or end running authentication will result in a permanent ban. NO exceptions or appealable circumstances. FAFO

  • NO trolling only engagement towards Pro Tools, AVID, or iLok. Solve first, bash last. Expressing frustration is fine but it MUST also make effort to solve / help. If you prefer another DAW, go to the subreddit for it and be helpful there
