in Komplete Kontrol

Windows 11 Home, Pro Tools Intro 2024.10, Komplete Kontrol 3.5.0 (KK)

I watched a video from NI re: KK MIDI Controller in Pro Tools from the menu Setup > Peripherals > MIDI Controllers he chose 'Komplete Kontrol' as the Type and 'Receive From' and 'Send To' automatically populated (the same process in the A series User Manual on page 16 chapter 4.3.3). However, when I chose KK under Type both those boxes still showed 'none'. I had 2 choices under Predefined > 'KOMPLETE KONTROL A25 MIDI (Emulated)' or 'Komplete Kontrol A DAW (Emulated)'. I tried every combo. I check under Setup > MIDI > MIDI Input Devices and both of these are enabled.

The only options that allow MIDI playback without an error seem to be KK A DAW Emulation for both slots. Idk if this is relevant but 'Send To' also lists 'Microsoft ****** Wavetable Synth' and 'Microsoft MIDI Mapper' along with the other two.

Did I miss a step that would cause these fields to auto-populate? Seems like I turned plug & play into plug and tinker!

If it helps, I also see both these options in the I/O menu in the KK standalone app Preferences.
