Updating Settings Files - Slow Startup

sir_sandwich

I recently started having an issue with Traktor Pro 4.11 on my macbook when starting up. The app sits at the step "Updating settings files…" for about 10 minutes.

I've tried the following, with no success…

1. Moving all my music to a local ssd on my macbook.
2. Removed all files that were referencing a network drive from the collection/playlists.
3. Deleted all old backups from previous upgrades.

What else could I attempt to correct this? I am concerned that if the application ever crashes during a performance, I would be stuck for more than 10 minutes to load the app again.
