I figured out the problem since I do not work out of Dropbox or any cloud storage due to all the issues mentioned above.
Only a few people I talked to had this issue, but it was due to the recent updated version of VT Pro all I did was just reverted back one version. It seemed to fix the problem now I can save with my vtp. file without turning into a bak. file and risk losing all my work.
Thanks everyone for your responses!
