Komplete Kontrol 2.9.6 wont open on Windows 11

Drive2j

Hi All

Bought KK S49 MK1 secondhand and installed KK 2.9.6 for it, and the App simply will not open.

I've reinstalled, run as Administrator and deleted the .db3 files to no avail - any other suggestions?

Have you registered the MK1 to your NI Acct?

Also need to confirm that Win 11 is seeing the hardware correctly. See Device Manager

What exactly happens when you fire up KK 2.9.6? Nothing? Error message?

Hi Vocal

Thank you for responding.

Product is registered and I’ll check in Device Manager.

Getting the small blue/black KK box and there is small white text confirming it is loading (or checking) VSTs. Then it disappears and nothing happens.

Registration or not, won't prevent KK from opening.

KK 2.9 works 100% on Win11, using that currently with an MK2.

When you try launch, is there an error or does it simply not run (nothing showing in task manager)? Even with no keyboard connected or correctly setup, it should still launch. Did you install to the default location? Have you tried to simply uninstall KK and manually install it (there is an installer listed on the site here somewhere via a google search. Haven't hit KK not launching personally.

Could be a gnarly plugin upsetting everything.

Does the app stop/disappear at the same place every time (as the text flies by) while scanning?
