Is 32Gb of installed memory enough for no crash problems?

it is not about ram
but the system size allocation for virtual memory (writen on drives)
it need about 4Go to not explose on load.

SystemPropertiesAdvanced / performances / parameters / advanced / virtual memory modif.
system drive on none (for space and ssd care), other drive on auto.

Thank you for the post, Bob. I haven't updated Kontakt for ages. Just installed this and I am confused.

launch library tool to add libraries
check if your AV deleted it
you can patch over to reinstall kontakt_button.exe (in kontakt folder)

Thank you. That was it. Antivirus didn't warn me but reinstall solved it. Much appreciated monsieur Dule

Thank you Bobdule, yes I'd imagine loading Kontakt libraries would be brutal damage on SSD drives. Could you please explain the last bit you wrote in reply and how to set those windows parameters.

no it is about write process damaging ssd,
try to not write the pagefile.sys on your system drive but on another.

size 0 on C
size 4Go minimal anywhere else. auto size is the best parameter.
