--- Comment #7 from Pedro M Sanches pedrodarch15b@gmail.com --- Symlinking maxpreferences.maxprefs to /dev/null makes the problem go away. This file is located at %AppData%\Cycling '74\Max 8\Settings.
This shouldn't be the way to make this work, but at least Max for Live devices do now function, but some of them make Ableton completely freeze due to missing COM class objects. Despite being functional, they have suffer from severe graphical issues that makes them unusable.
