Ivan - please have a look at this:

> [@double\_exclamation\_mark Native Windows MIDI Services with MetaServer (Windows 11) — Setup Guide](https://forum.metagrid.app/t/native-windows-midi-services-with-metaserver-windows-11-setup-guide/1456/7):

> One more thing to add that helps. Run ‘services.msc’ and right click on Windows Midi services and click properties. Change Startup to Automatic (Delayed Start)

For the faders - export the problematic fader for investigation.

I understand your frustration - the situation on the Windows front is frustrating for us as well - all our test systems are working correctly on the new MIDI Services. Please upgrade to MIDI Services per the post above.

I love your keyboard :-).
