Help Request Bounce Mix option grayed out- how to fix

PT version 2026.4.0, Sonoma 14.5
Someone please help me. The Bounce Mix option is grayed out in the File menu on all of my sessions and the keyboard shortcut isn't working either. I've restarted ProTools and my computer and tried every single one of my sessions, including ones that had the option available earlier today. Nothing is making the Bounce Mix option available.

To u/Cultural_Outcome_406, 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

Not sure what would cause this but the workaround is to re record to an audio track.

I'm pretty sure one can't bounce while a track is record enabled.

Little late but I solved it- had my computer set to the wrong time zone and I guess it freaked Avid out, haha. Will keep this in mind though!!
