Kontakt 6 crashing despite trying all of the suggested fixes

TEBArceus · April 18

Title sums it up, but yeah, I've been trying to use Kontakt 6 and it just terminates on launch. I've gone through everything listed in the suggested fixes, but nothing changes, I have this crash report if anyone can make sense of it.

What OS? What version of Kontakt 6? What library is crashing?

Need some decent background info to determine what is going on.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro, and it's Kontakt 6 Version 6.8.0. As soon as I open the plater, I'm met with this.

Crash file are not directly readable by text programs , most likely it would be more useful to some if you had the Windows Event Viewer info here (play video for info).

First thing I would address - is this:

If you are actually trying to use Kontakt - with OneDrive anywhere in your path (which could be syncing and grinding away in the background 24x7x365) - that alone could cause major issues.

You need to decouple your Documents directory from OneDrive - permanently - by doing this:

And then try again.
