Hi!
Recently my Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 LCD screens are stuck in the starter screen("KOMPLETE KONTROL - Smart Keyboard Controller").
My environment is Win11, and I have many NKS libraries (mainly 'USER Libraries' so the NI part is smaller - that's just some Kontakt libs and U-he)
Uninstalled, Reinstalled the software, trying to run each software 'AS ADMINISTRATOR' not help at all.
Managed to 'reset' the kontroller with a computer restart, but then it's stuck on its MIDI screen.
The Strange is, that the controller is recognised, and can use komplete kontrol, so i can navigate through the pages and the knobs of the plugin, but this time the LCD screen does not help, I have to look at the computer screen...
Also opened a support ticket at Native Instruments.
Thought I should post this here also maybe some of you experienced similar weirdness.
This is quite disturbing but not critical, because:
-keyboard is working only the LCD information missing
-In my projects I don't use KK as a plugin wrapper, I only use it to find sounds

After several investigation i have managed to solve this problem.
NI has a tutorial listing what to check when you have this stuck screen problem.
One step describes to check the drivers in windows device manager.
While the keyboard was on, i could see its drivers, and i updated them in windows, then the problem was gone.
There was also a logical step previously that I've tried the keyboard with another computer (laptop) - i 've seen that is working without problems that way, so its 100 percent the problem is caused by softwares/drivers so the keyboard and the usb cable are OK.
