Running Win 10 here.

I've been working from home A LOT these past two weeks. I've been keeping DXBase running in case interesting DX is spotted. I usually only have it on when I'm actively operating, which doesn't last for hours on end unless its a contest. I contest using N1MM+ and import the resulting log into DXBase.

I've been using my lovely old TS-930S as Radio 2 during this time. Since I've been doing this, I've noticed that after a while of inactivity (I don't yet know how long) DXBase loses the ability to adjust the rotor control (a Green Heron). I see no popups that say it's unresponsive and will be disconnected and it shows that Rotor 1 is connected in Tools>Options>User Options. When this happens, if I close DXBase I can't reopen it: choosing it either in the Start menu or via the desktop shortcut results in nothing. I have to restart Windows to be able to run it again. However, if I can still address the antenna positions, I can close and reopen DXBase without problems. I haven't tried this with only Radio 1 and not activating Radio 2: that's my next experiment.

Has anyone experienced this and, if you have, what's the solution to the problem?
