On some computers a device might not work after wake up from sleep or hibernation.
It's often random and we couldn't find the underlying reason yet but there are some workarounds.
Workarounds
To apply the workarounds, first show all config settings in the "Magic Utilities" application:
- Select View > Advanced config settings from the menu.
Try out the workaround in the order presented below.
Avoid using more than one workaround at the time.
Don't close the driver handler on sleep
- Deselect Driver > Driver handler settings > Close on computer sleep from the main menu.
Now restart the "Magic Utilities" application.
