You can adjust the timeout by putting a config file in a special place.In 
ya'lls case you would increase the timeout value.That doesn't sound like John's 
problem though as the should not cause a lockup.

 Hello Saku,
Thanks for the info - and I will try what you have pointed out.
My shack PC has been running Vista-64 for a while - I have too much stuff on it 
and I'll use it as long as it will last - but yes, it is getting dated.  I did 
look up some of the USB drivers today - circa 2013 - so I'm pretty sure the 
WSJT-X code could not have been tested with those drivers.  And I don't think 
those drivers will be updateable either; so it's just a matter of time now 
until they are incompatible.
One way I've temporarily gotten around the issue is just to stop the program; 
tune; and the start again - that seems to be working pretty well - been working 
a lot of stations in Japan this evening too BTW.  Worked a station in Korea and 
New Zealand also.  Saw one from China but they didn't come back.
73's,JohnAJ6BC

After operating and changing bands; I will use my tuner; and the program will 
either hang or will pop up a window saying the rig has become unresponsive.  I 
can click 'retry' sometimes and it'll be ok - but a consistent issue that will 
happen is it will either become completely unresponsive - with TX stuck; or I 
will get an error message saying hamlib I/O has suffered an error, and TX is 
stuck.
 

 
 
Hi!
 
I have IC706 with LDG Z-100Plus. Auto tuning is set from rig's menu and control 
cable exists between rig and LDG. So it will start tuning process every time on 
first TX when band is changed. Normally that 1st TX is pressing "tune" button 
of wsjt-x after band change.
 
 
It is completely normal getting wsjt-x prompt "rig not responding" 99% of the 
time.
 
That is because rigctld does run to timeout because rig is not responding to 
cat commands during tuning. And LDG has (according to manual) 1,5 sec tail 
after the best match is set. Said according to manual, as sometimes I feel that 
the delay from LDG led showing ok to time it drops TX feels much longer.
 
Answering "Retry" after LDG has dropped rig's TX will continue normal operation.
 
That could, maybe, be fixed by setting rigctld timeout bigger. But that cannot 
be done via wsjt-x radio setup. Then rigctld must be started as separate 
command line process to get wanted parameters in use, and after that open the 
wsjt-x with setting radio/Hamlib Net rigctl/localhost:4532 to get access to 
rigctld.
 
I have been too lazy to test this longer timeout, just accepted that I need to 
press "retry" after every tuning session.
 
Os here is Fedora 27 linux.
 With my little experience from past years I wonder how you can stand Vista? 
Slowest OS I have never seen. I'm sure that it makes also a part of your 
problems. Not everything is coming from RF leaks as suspected here.
