Problems with Kontakt and Sonar

[Dave Maffris]

Having recently switched form CbB to Sonar, I now find that Kontakt displays no longer function correctly. Particularly in Kontakt 7--the interface is tiny and unreadable, with white space all around it. Also, I cannot pull up the rack view that I normally use (not the default view of newer Kontakt versions). Kontakt 6 displays ok, although there are issues with scrolling thru every instrument in the rack, no matter how I fill the screen I cannot scroll to the bottom. So it's making the software I use the most nearly unuseable. I can load kontakt 6 or 7 into CbB and it's fine, but I've fully transitioned to Sonar again and would like to stick with it for the updates, support, etc. I have tried to play with the DPI plug in awareness settings, but this has no effect--I am running a 4K wide screen curved monitor at it's native resolution. WIndows 11 computer. I'm out of ideas, so hoping someone who knows or has encountered this issue can help. I even tried refreshing Kontakt 7, considering updating to Kontakt 8, but waiting for a better price on full Komplete upgrade. If this continues, I may have to finally abandon Cakewalk after 30 years of intensive use--and still the only DAW I've ever tried (I have tried quite a few) that I really find useable for me. Thanks in advance for any ideas you can contribute.

In Kontakt, click on "View" (next to "File" and "Library" at the top) and then "Zoom" to whatever percentage (greater than 100%) makes things readable for you.

You might also want to go to Windows settings - "System/Display" and make sure you are using the recommended Scale.  Mine is 250%, and if I use, say 100%, everything in Windows is tiny.  If I highlight the Scale control, I can see that 250% is "Recommended" and that is, in fact, what looks best on my screen for all programs.
