If anyone figures this out, please let me know. I'm about to upgrade to PT 12 on a Windows 10 PC. I'm not thrilled about the issues with the standalone editor. Avid says it works with Windows 8.1, but I loathe 8.1. This upgrade is a nightmare, and I'm just in the planning phase. I record almost exclusively with my singtall patches, which are stored locally on my hard drive and accessed via the GUI in PT. Losing this capability will devastate my workflow. Not to mention, I'm losing thousands in 32 bit plugins. Why am I upgrading? I don't know, but I can't stay on PT 10 with an Intel i3 forever.
