[15:59] <CoryCollins[m]> Hey, thanks for the help. I can easily install UStudio to an external ssd. It looks and works great, right of the box.  The problem shows up at shut down - Froze up on the exit screen when hit the ok button to shut down. Turned machine off, then back on. Booted fine, works great, shutdown correctly this time. Powered up again, but this time line items were failing, it stops while the screen  is full of text from the boot. So it
