Audacity Forum

Shift-Shutdown is an enhanced shutdown that really, really stops and resets most Windows processes.

Just Shutdown or worse yet Restart are theater. They leave many processes running or "set" because so many people complained about the long time it took for Windows to actually restart. Many people think Shutdown must be perfect because the power goes off. When Windows comes back up, it uses Last Known Good Settings, not Start Fresh.

So do that once and see if helps or changes. Either one tells us stuff.

If you do reinstall Audacity, note there is a setting during installation to reset preferences and settings. Click it.

you are on the other side of the world.

No, you're on the other side.

Thanks for the information.

I am on the other side of the world. Yes I suppose I am.

I tried your shift + shutdown suggestion and it made no difference.

Is it advisable to use the shift + shutdown technique everytime I shut down my machines?
