Issue Title: PiPlay v1.33.01.01.05: Sudden USB recognition issues after ~1.5 weeks
Description:
I upgraded my PiPlay from v1.18 to v1.33 on the 27th of Sept.
Until yesterday included, everything generally worked fine (except for the CPU load/temp being more unstable than with v1.18 until the game runs).
Finished my last VR session (about 2.5 hrs) yesterday evening.
When I launched PiPlay this morning, at first it seemed to work as usual: 1x disconnect, 1x connect, 1x disconnect.
But when the 2nd and final connect should have happened, I got an USB recognition problem notice from Win11 instead.
I then tried all sort of cable un- and re-plug variations, USB as well as DP-cable. No luck. Shut down the PiService and relaunched it. No luck. Did soft and hard reboot of the PC. No luck. Checked the cable again. No luck. Always Win11 notification about an USB device not being recognized properly.
It was only when I uninstalled and re-installed the v1.33 PiPlay software, that it finally worked again, and I was able to play for an hour now without further issues.
I had such issues now and then with previous versions of PiTool/PiPlay, too - but at those time, simple un-/re-plug of the USB or re-launch of the service fixed it, latest a reboot. Can’t remember that a re-installation of the software has been necessary so far.
Anyone else encountering this or a similar issue with v1.33 or any other version?
