Setup:
Mini-PC running Win 10 and running nothing but Virtualhere Server and hardwired to local LAN. It has a long range BT USB dongle where controllers and keyboard are connected. In the other room the gaming PC (Win 11 Pro) where the client is running wired to same LAN. Both computers are using the latest version of Virtualhere. Gaming PC sees the server and BT dongle no problem but when I use the device it only connects for a like 2 seconds then disconnects.
Steps take to try to resolve:
Reinstalling Windows on both PCs with just Virtualhere running and no firewalls. Disabled built-in BT adapters on both PC's via BIOS option. Tried a different BT dongle (same connection issue). Downgraded to Win 10 then back to Win 11. Switched USB ports for BT dongle. Tried the Custom Event Handler of "onReset.$VENDOR_ID$.$PRODUCT_ID$=" still the same issue.
This used to over this same network but the only thing that's changed is windows software updates. I was away for an extended period of time and when I got back my PC's updated, then it no longer worked. Been trying to fix this for 3 full days now - here are the server and client logs:

Help would greatly be appreciated, thank you.

Thats weird...try this build of the virtualhere server instead https://www.virtualhere.com/sites/default/files/usbserver/vhusbdwinw64.exe (Extra w in the name)
(Stop and exit the existing virtualhere server if its currently running.)
