I solved this problem by using this little app which Aaron helped me with.
Just change the Refreshabraille to the name of your display.
' RefreshabrailleSelect
Dim myHotkey : Set myHotkey = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("Alt-B","RefBraille")
Function RefBraille()
For Each display In BrailleDisplays
If display = "Refreshabraille" Then
display.ApplyChanges
Speak "Done "
Braille.DisplayQuickMessage("Connected")
Sleep 500
End If
Next
' If you go look in the Select Braille Display dialog, you'll find that
' the Refreshabraille is selected.
' Aaron
End Function
Hope that helps.
Save this as a .vbs file and load it with app manager.

Subject: Constantly re-initializing Braille Display: Is That Normal?
So I've been a Window-Eyes user for literally decades, but only in
recent days have I attempted to use it with a braille display--a
HumanWare Brailliant BI32.
Seems like every time I have to log into the PC or unlock because of the
security settings here at work, I have to go in and re-initialize the
display. Is there no way this can be automatic--that the display could
just begin working after login? Not whining about pushing a few keys if
I must every time; just asking whether it's necessary.
