ANY change to USB devices is disastrous. I used to get CTDs from it, now it just pauses a long time. I haven’t seen this specific issue because i have been very careful not to disturb things while the sim is running, or else. It’s similar to the issue of having no audio if you unplug/replug a usb headset. whatever the sim is doing with USB peripherals needs a good rewrite.

I am using a KVM switch built into the monitor to switch between private and work systems, so this becomes really obvious when I want to do something like download an update or just try something in a few minutes of downtime. It also means I can’t really enable display power saving since that will eventually force a switch to whatever other input on the monitor is active.
