NTKDaemon.exe constantly crashed in Native Access 3.2.1

Harti

Hi

I just updated to version 3.2.1. I have three PCs and on two of them NTKDaemon.exe constantly crashed on start of Windows and every time Native Access is installing again the "dependencies" or whatever. A very bad user experience & one can see the "massacre" in the reliability monitor.

I tried everything - from new installation to reinstall/repair runtime stuff etc. Nothing helped. At the end I downgraded to Native Access 1 and deinstalled NTKDaemon.exe and everything works fine. So what is the extremely bad coded NTKDaemon.exe good for? What does it do?🐞 I have no clue.

Btw: I'm only using Massive 1 & Kontakt 6 in my main DAW Reason 12.

3.2.2 was released in the last 48 hrs, so don't know why you didn't get it.

I run W10 and NA 1.14.1, and downloaded K7 Player no problem, but from what I gather certain product updates won't be available or aren't at present for NA 1.

Hi @Harti glad to hear downgrading to NA1 resolved the issue for the time being. There should be an update that addresses this error in the future.

As to what NTKDaemon actually does, our product manager explained briefly in his article here:
