Kontakt 7.5 and above give major problems loading Cubase. Am I the only one?

I have the latest Kontakt 7 and Kontakt 6 installed on my computer together with the rest of my Komplete 14 package. I am running AMD 5900 on an Asus x570 mainboard with 128 GB RAM and 2+2 2GB Crucial discs and some SATA drives. I have all Native stuff on the C drive except my Kontakt stuff which is on a separate drive. All on Windows 11 latest.
Since Kontakt 7.5 I have had big problems loading projects in Cubase 12 and 13 (not really running Cubase 13 yet as it is unusable with graphic issues but that is another story). I noticed that for newer projects I rarely have to try more than 1-2 times and then I am up and running stable once it loads. I have been loading older projects lately (some with Kontakt 5, most with v6) and I might have to try loading a project up to 10-12 times before I get up and running (I do not have Kontakt 5 installed yet Kontakt somehow gets loaded?)
so what happens is that Cubase just shuts down while loading, then after a few tries I might get some error messages and it keeps shutting down time and time again. Very annoying indeed. Even if I work on a project and it is running just fine for 3-4 hours, the next day when loading Cubase could very often need 2-3 times of rebooting to manage to load the project.
Am I the only one? any suggestions on how to fix this? I am all out of a desire to work even before I get started

and in all the Cubase dmp files it lists kontakt.dll as guilty party for the crash.

I'm having issues as well. KK 3 crashes when I try to load a Kontakt patch, and Cubase 13 crashes half the time at startup once it gets to the process of initializing Kontakt 7.vst3. Other times when I manage to get inside Cubase, then it will tend to crash if I load a patch there but thru KK. My standalone Kontakt 7 seems to work fine.

I see there is a new v7.7 out today, fingers crossed the issues have been addressed.

In my case, it didn't resolve anything. However, I did manage to make Cubase start smoothly over and over and over again after I removed Kontakt 7.vst3 from the VST3 folder (I placed it temporarily on my desktop). I'm looking to revert to pre-7.6 to see if that will resolve issues on my end. Keep me posted with your troubleshooting!

I have the same long wait before a project loads in Cubase 12 pro. My sample drive is an SSD so I feel it should be fast enough to deal with large projects ... but it runs up to 100% for several mins before the project can be worked on.
Interestingly I had used Sonar platinum a long time ago and tried using a template with Kontakt heavy samples ... and it loaded quickly!? without a problem.
I read and suffer this loading problem but I am unsure of where this tiresome problem comes from .. You invest money and time and still have these bugs.🤔
