Can someone help regarding Kontakt slowing my CPU?

Partylifemusic

Hi guys,

Here are the specs:

MacBook Pro 16inch, 2021

Apple M1 Max

32GB Memory

500gb Solid State

OS: Sonoma 14.1

My problem:

I recently got a notification from my Native Access and went ahead and updated everything. Ever since I updated it which was about a few weeks ago now, when I load an instance of Kontakt (version 7.10.2) my DAW immediately becomes choppy and slowed down. I didn't have this issue before the update, but I updated it because I was also receiving notifications about my Kontakt player running an older version that my expansions weren't loading because of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
