I have no idea what's going on, and using Task Manager i havent been able to find where the AutomationTool process is being used elsewhere.

Solution:

A bug in Alpakit means that canceling a pack operation will prevent you from packing again until you restart the editor. This will be fixed in a later release. -# Responding to alpakitstuckaftercancel triggered by @Hazel Rose...
