    @Chachor What graphic card do you have on your computer? Do you use external monitors? What version of Kontakt are you using?

    @Chachor If you minimize/maximize the view does it change anything? How did you open the preferences dialog? What happens if you use key commands, like F1, F2, etc....is the AMD Radeon R9 M295X the standard for the imac? Are you able to choose another dirver?

    Hi, I've just upgraded to Kontakt 14 and my Kontakt 7 window is also black. I have an Nvidia graphics card which should be compatible ( Direct3D DDI: 11.1) but it ain't working. I'm running Windows 10 NI please advise thanks

    @Gravitate k As explained in this article: KONTAKT 7 Opens with a Black Window KONTAKT 7 requires graphics hardware support for Direct 3D 11.1 (Feature Level 11_0) or higher.

    Can you check the feature level and post a screenshot?

    i treid to reinstall through native access without success. I have everything updated and i've K14CE

    I have the same behaviour in cakewalk, maschine software and in Guitar rig 6 standalone. guitar rig 5 is working fine.

    i did not change anything, except maybe some window update, but it stated it was a security update.

    Hi, same issue here. Everything worked fine until the crash off the ssd system drive.
    After the reinstallation, there is a black screen for NI effects.

    Windows 10 64bits , intel i7 3770, AMD radeon HD 5450
