My Kontakt Stand-Alone Crashes Everytime I Open It, And Kontakt Isn't Showing In Plugins
I've had kontakt before on a other computer with windows 10 and Ableton Live 10 and have had similar issues but resolved them. Now I got a new computer with windows 11 and Ableton Live 11 and kontakt stand-alone crashes every time I open it. Kontakt doesn't show up in plugins either. I've un/re installed multiple times and restarted my computer multiple times. I have all my plugins on my D-Drive (since it has more space) and made custom kontakt folders. I've also tried installing everything to default and switching my plugins folder on Live 11 to kontakts defualt "VSTPlugins 64 bit" Folder, but the stand alone still crashes and kontakt sill doesn't show up in my plugins. I really don't know what to do, I have been trying to fix this for hours.

FIXED (For Me):
I was using the newer Native Access (Black) so I had to go back to the older version (White). Go ahead and uninstall Kontakt and Native Access.
Next Follow step one on this support, but you wont open kontakt because its gone, just delete the folder. I went ahead and deleted the entire "Native Instruments" Folder, I would recommend doing that:
After everything is uninstalled go the this download link of native access:
Just Reinstall everything and hope it works! Good Luck!

UPDATE:
I just went back to windows 10 (Wiped My PC) and tried installing everything again, still crashes and still wont show up in my plugins. At this point I really don't know what to do and really need help. I have the ASIO drivers from the focusrite. I've tried other drivers on kontakt but it still crashes

Same Here - Brand new built PC - Win10 - RME Babyface Pro - all drivers updated.
Installed Access software, then Kontakt, got the dialog box to set the audio interface drivers and such, but then it crashed and closed. Any attempts to reopen the player - same results. Tried deleting the registry key and other folders as mentioned in FAQ, but no go, so I uninstalled everything.
Come on, NI, this should install and work on any recent system. We should'nt have to mess with registry, delete folders or reinstall Visual C++.
I was getting ready to re-join the NI Kontakt world and purchase a few libraries, but I can't even get the standalone player to work. I have tons of other VI's from Waves, Toontrack, XLN Audio, IK Multimedia, Spitfire, Moddart...zero installation or running issues.
Any working solutions?
