Dave - Windows 10 attempts to lock down USB port assignments as a security measure, and does so again with each update. Some apps are smart enough to deal with this, but Winlink is basically a 1990s era Email application and is susceptible to issues like this.
There are numerous articles on how to deal with it. Some that want to sell you an app to fix it, some that tell you how to fix it yourself (i.e.: The Windows Club website). Select the one that best matches your comfort level. Worst case scenario, you fix it manually after every Windows update. But at least you are aware of what needs fixing, and how to do it. In most cases, you need to go into the Soundcard settings for the Mode you have selected (i.e.: Vara HF Winlink) and change the input and output devices to USB Audio Codec.
