99% of my projects is using Kontakt embeded in KOMPLETE KONTROL plugin (as I have KK keyboard). After recent upgrade to KOMPLETE 14 (which includes upgrade of Kontakt to version 7) all my projects (in Ableton Live 11) lost their presets. Another words in place of an old KK I see new KK with embeded Kontakt7, but the preset on the track is lost.
I wasted humongous amount of time trying to update my projects and I am barely at 20%. Super tired and frustrated. If I open older prject (ie. from 3-6 months ago) I am able to update some of the KK presets manually, but not all. while doing all this Ableton keeps crashing very often, making updates evben more miserable.
I do all kind of tricks learned on-line from other users and slowly making progress, but doing so will take me another 2 or more weeks to get everything updated.
There is no problem or issue with new projects, new tracks etc. All the problems are related to older projects which used Kontakt5 or 6 (mostly).
To make things even worse KOMPLETE KONTROL got no update at all and really, really sucks ! If I bring new KK to the existing track I can see the fragment of the preset name in the very top field , but for some reason developer (who should be fired for this) made this field super short so it is impossible to guess the preset name.
Another wired thing is that I still see Kontakt5 and 6 on my plugin list in KK. Why the project does not open a KK version which was used but rather opens up KK+Kontakt7 ?
I paid $600 for the Komplete upgrade and I am super dissastified. To be honest the only benefit for me is the KONTAKT7 Zoom feature which finally allows me to use the Libs which were previously completely unreadable (on GUI).
In a next few days I will test the same on my studio One projects to see if this would be the same problem.
NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KK and KONTAKT development is the biggest dissapointment ever. while NI libs are great the main product sicks :-(
Kontakt should be dead long time ago and replaced with some new modern engine. It feels like 300 year old man who is forcibly kept alive by some ignorant.

I wonder if everybody else is experiencing the same issue OR have a solution ?
