Traktor 3 Crashes at Startup if Laptop is not connected to NAS-Storage

After getting a new laptop with Windows 11 and installing Traktor 3, I encountered an issue where Traktor crashes upon startup if the laptop is not connected to my home network and NAS. I moved Traktor settings, the music database, and all music files to my laptop, ensuring everything is local. The settings are used when I start Traktor within my network. It seems there may be another piece of information or path linked to my NAS that prevents Traktor from starting when I'm not in my home network. Despite trying various solutions, I haven't been able to fix it.

Do you have any ideas?

You could open the ~/Documents/Native Instruments/Traktor 3.x.x/ folder which contains an collection.nml. Open that with a good text editor like Notepad++

See if there are any references to the NAS or network drive.

Be sure to create a backup before doing any modifications.

Thank you for the advice. I checked it and I don't see any links to my NAS. What makes me wonder is when I am connected to my home network and have access to my NAS, Traktor will start and use the settings located in the c:\Musik\NI\Traktor 3.11.1 folder. If I delete the local folder and start Traktor again, it creates a new folder with new settings in the same local destination. However, if I disconnect from the network, Traktor still crashes right at the beginning and I get an error window. I don't even see the Traktor user interface.
