Traktor 4 Pro crashes when I try to close it

Before, the only real issue with this was that it would not save settings, and I had to manually save my track collection to retain analyzed tracks. But now somehow it defaulted to a really crappy layout and even though I was able to import one of the usually layouts before, after I customized it to fit my preferences and exported it, now it also crashes when I try to import a layout settings file.

So what happens is when I X out, the program just freezes and if I do anything else or wait a few seconds, it will say (not responding) until it greys out and pops up a window saying "Traktor 4 Pro is not responding" with the options to force close the program or wait for it to respond, which obviously doesnt do anything. This happens every time I close it on my PC, which is Windows 10 Enterprise. I have tried reinstalling Traktor, updating Native Access, resetting the settings of Traktor, rebooting my PC several times.

Download page seems to be broken

If I go to the page on the Native Instruments website where it says "My products and downloads" there is nothing I can click to download anything. I wanted to reinstall Traktor 4 pro but now it seems I cannot download it anywhere. It looks as though this page is supposed to have clickable titles where it would either just start the download or bring you to an item page with a download function, but nothing in the list is clickable, there doesn't seem to be a download button at all, for anything.

I wanted to reinstall because somehow after connecting an old X1, it asked if I wanted to use the X1 layour and misclicked 'yes' after which all hell broke loose. It somehow deleted the layouts, so now the layout popup at the top of the screen only showed a 'default layout' which basically removed everything. Now this I could just manually reset but it also removed the FX/Rec sections, which were just fully gone. I tried checking the "Show Global Section" and checking and un-checking the FX modules, but it simply created an empty space above the decks. It also messed up some other sections. My traktor was already broken in another way where it wouldn't actually shut down normally, but just crash when the X was pressed, meaning it didn't save any changes in settings. Before this was usable because the settings were how I wanted them, and I just had to reset the headphones output sometimes, but after this fuckup it would mean having to reset everything above each time.

So I wanted to uninstall (which is already confusingly difficult for such a new program, nothing in Native Access, not visible in windows' "uninstall a program" list) and reinstall from download, but now the website doesn't seem to want to give me a download.

Does this website work normally for yall, or have I just misinterpreted the website and is the download located elsewhere?

A crepe I bought off a streetfood truck

I dreamt this about 13 years ago and recreated it then (approximately).

It was a big foodtruck selling crepes and this one was specifically €2,50

It was a crepe with first a layer of vanilla pastry cream, then a layer of whole brownies. This made it so big it was basically a pie, so in my own replication I opted for just some crumbled brownie to get a better ratio. I remember it was tasty but not very special, mostly just very sweet.

Taking drugs in dreams and their effects

I've had a couple of dreams where I took drugs. As far as I remember it was things like weed, acid or mushrooms. Mostly this then followed some anticipation but no effects. However a few times there were effects but they were completelt external. For example in one dream I had taken some mushrooms and at some point there was a playground sandbox nearby and the sand was moving in an impossible way. But it was not like I was hallucinating this, it was actually the sand moving as an effect, not my perception of it.

Have any of you had drug effects in your dreams?

How to make loops of other lengths than powers of 2 when dividing

So my controller has the loop in and out buttons, and then a loop halving and a loop doubling button. However, sometimes I want to do polyrhythmic mixing, so I make a loop of, lets say 6 beats. When I press the halving button it doesn't decrease it to 3 but rather jumps to 2.

Is there a way to make it actually halve the loop regardless of its length? So to make a 14 beat loop halve to 7 beats, then to 3.5 beats?

Kontakt not updating

Some instruments in contact do not work because kontakt is outdated (I get an error telling me to update). What I've tried so far:
Reinstalling kontakt from Native Access
Updating and reinstalling Native Access
Updating windows
Restarting everything several times.

Kontakt is stuck at version 7.6.1, the release notes show 2023-10-12 as latest version. When I reinstall, I just get the same version. In Native access the updates window tells me everything is up to date. I've uninstalled native access, downloaded the exe of native access 2 from the NI website, updated my PC (Windows 10 version 1809), installed native access 2 from the exe, reinstalled Kontakt again, still 7.6.1

What else can I even try?
