Reload Problem with Saved Cubase9 Project using Kontakt8

Niktoman

Using Win10 22H2 Pro and Cubase9 with the latest Kontakt8 and an instrument loaded from Vintage Organs works just fine. After saving the Cubase9 Project and then reloading it later, I find the instrument is still there, everything looks good with the Kontakt8 GUI except the instrument won't trigger from the MIDI track or my MIDI keyboard or my computer keyboard. I have to double-click the instrument to get it to trigger and then it triggers fine from all these sources. It doesn't reload into Kontakt8 because it appears to already be loaded. The plugin should save and reload in the project with MIDI source enabled but something is wrong. This is more of a nuisance but I'd like to fix it before using multiple tracks with Kontakt8. This problem does not happen with Battery4 kits or other plugins loading instruments like Trillion. Any ideas?
