v12.2 Freeze at Startup

Post by jasper » Thu Jun 12, 2025 8:48 pm

At the splash screen, Ableton freezes during startup.
It was automatically updated (I guess last night).

It is when the splash screen says "Initializing applcation.. ."


macOS Sonoma 14.2.1

hello, mike

no startup freeze here so far -- but it's only Hour One.

I see that we're on similar systems, so... take heart!

I'm just afraid nobody will ever get back to me about it and i'll be without my DAW.

should i delete the Preferences or something?

First you could try holding SHIFT while starting Live, it will bypass your Template set. Maybe a 3rd party plugin or a M4L device is causing the issue.
