Hello,

Anyone have this issue, when I access Native Access or use Kontakt within my DAW (DP), it does not release my hard drive. I think the system still thinks it's accessing it. I have narrowed it down to the two. When I shut down, the Mac doesn't it just hangs, but when I do not use either this does not happen. Any thoughts?

    Seems like it was Abbey Road that was holding onto the drive. Also, seems like the latest version update of MacOS seemed to have fixed it.

    What do you mean by "it does not release my hard drive" ? Could you give more details of what is happening. Does Kontakt, Native Access and DP have Full Disk Access ? How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS

    Yes. All have full access to drives.

    my SSD does not unmount which means the Mac cannot shut down or restart properly. If I do not launch Kontakt, this does not happen.
