Ableton Forum

Live is constantly trying to initialize midi, as it would usually when it boots up. Like it's trying to re-connect to or search for any midi devices. However I have unplugged all devices - re-installed vanilla Ableton. Still does the same thing, very weird.

Did in fact disable DPI but now think this is not the problem...have realised my issue is actually being caused by the midi trying to initialize itself constantly. The intermittent freezing I'm getting seems to be happening whenever the midi tries to reconnect.
Have a project deadline coming up so ...

Hi I'm also experiencing this, and it seems to be happening in Ableton 10 too now - unable to work on anything currently as it renders the editor unusable!

I have a similar rig to what you described - i9, 2080ti, 64gig RAM, SSD, 4k screen.

Please do post if you manage to find solution!
