in fact the crash is linked to the pagefile.sys size management.
kontakt don't like user defined size
it works well if managed by the system.
don't use the recomended size ( it is too small)

it don't crash now if well adjusted.
it will take 4Go or more only to write the pagefile.sys.

under sized memory will crash on loading consuming nki's.

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.

Any way to repair missing libraries since the "locate library" function is gone? This is a huge pain in the ass, because once a library is gone, you can't get it back even if you re-add it. So stupid

Why has the katfile version for full installation been removed? I get a 404 error when trying to click that link

Also, the Rapidgator one is said to be a virus by my browser (Edge). That's new and my browser has never given me this message downloading anything. Hopefully, it's just some new feature added by Miicrosoft from an update

Thanks
