Traktor Kontrol Z1 MK2 Not Recognised When Plugged In

Question

After every Traktor Pro or Native Access update, it affects the connectivity of the Traktor Kontrol Z1 MK2 when it is plugged into the computer via USB. I have the relevant Z1 MK2 driver, which I normally have to reinstall, but it seems not to work after this recent update. When plugged in. the orange light (MIDI button) shows at the top of the controller, but Traktor nor the computer cannot recognise that the controller is plugged in.

I have the same issue. Each update sucks up hours of my time and I'm about to start shopping for simpler dj software that isn't such a pain for every update. I also lose my playlist every time.
