Kontakt update not working in Logic Pro 12

Question

so everything has been fine and yesterday I launched Native access and updated all my plunges now Kontakt seems to be locking up logic 12 or loading VERY VERY slowly (as en 10+minutes).  is this a known issue?  a LARGE amount of my clients session rely on Kontakt and this simply isn't a workable situation which is setting me back.

@Unity of Noise I've contacted you by email, my colleagues will need to have a deeper look in your system.

I run NI Access once a week checking for updates. I don't run any libraries that aren't NI standard libraries so if there are somehow libraries available for kontkat 7 that don't work for kontkat 7 that would extremely weird for NI to allow.

Well, it's a long standing issue, and a complicated one, we're working on it and at some point in the future, there will be more visible warnings. For the moment it is mentioned in the licenses release notes:

But there's no actual block, so you should always check the release notes for a Kontakt library before updating. It should improve in the coming months.

What happens in Kontakt in standalone?

Seems to load fine

Can you load any library?

once its open libraries always load fine.

When does the long loading time happen, when you open Logic, when you open an older project? When you open a mew Kontakt instance?

its any time Kontakt is loaded.  either it stay greyed out for a very long time (on a new instance) and typically I have to unload and reload it a few times for it to work.  OR on a session that has it already when the session is loading it just hangs on Kontakt for quite a while.

Do Kontakt and Logic both have full disk access? How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS.

Yes I've been a Komplete user since V8, this has never been an issue.

Do you mean you have updated all your Kontakt libraries? If you are using Kontakt 7, you might have broken compatibility for some libraries that now require Kontakt 8.  I run NI Access once a week checking for updates.  I don't run any libraries that aren't NI standard libraries so if there are somehow libraries available for kontkat 7 that don't work for kontkat 7 that would extremely weird for NI to allow.

If these are NI libraries you can use the free Kontakt 8 Player.
