    I'd say it's official: massive DOES NOT work with windows 11 ! 

    I tried to install Massive, after downloading it with the link from the site, on my brand new just bought Microsoft Surface Pro 9, and it doesn't work: after launching it, the initial splashscreen written "initializing" remains and it doesn't go on. 

    Does Native Instrument think they're doing something or is that okay?

    Were you ever able to find a solution @marcopmp ? I am having the EXACT same issues as you. Tried installing on two different Windows 10 PCs freezes on initializing, will not allow me to change any settings or drivers. I also use Realtek btw for my Audio device. No Audio Interface used. Trying standalone version of Massive on both so no DAW to complicate things. Both freeze and eat all of the memory. There is clearly a memory leak in this version of Massive with Windows 10. It's a nightmare. I guess I'm not going to buy the product during the summer sale if the demo cannot run on two seperate different Windows 10 PCs

    @marcopmp We tried to install the demo on various Windows 11 systems without a problem, it is working, not sure why it does happen to you. I created a ticket and contacted you by email. My colleagues will check your case.

    On a side note, even though I help on the forum, this is not a substitute for support. There is a dedicated section, you can access it on the top of the page.

    I made several attempts again, also reached out to the teams responsible for our systems. You should have received these messages, check with your email inbox, settings, spam, etc...or send me an alternative email address by direct message. I've removed your image, you shouldn't be sharing email addresses and private data on a public forum.

    I had exactly the same issue. Massive got stuck on "initializing" when run in standalone mode. No preset was able to load. It crashed the whole Cubase 12, when loaded as VST.

    Plain uninstall and reinstall process did not help. So I tried to delete the Massive settings in Windows Register. It worked (without re-installation needed).

    Solution for me:

    Delete the whole folder [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\Massive].

    Run Massive again. Massive asks for default driver. Choose one that works. Massive creates whole settings in registry again.

    Note: The rootcause might have been Flex ASIO drivers, which were removed as default driver (but this is only an assumption).
