auto connect and disconnect after server update

Hello Sir!
I have a weird issue of auto connect and disconnect for some clients, it happened just after updating the server to the latest version v4.8.8, even though auto use setting not set at all, and here is the log from the server, you can figure out the client who keeps connect and disconnect continueously
the version of VirtualHere client is v5.4.2

#2

Connection 190 is automatically using it. The log will show the IP address of connection 190. Do you recognize that IP address?

#3

yes  recognize it, but this issue can be a gost connection as well, cuz when the client restart VH client program it keeps connect and disconnect it without showing (in use) 

#4

Go to that client machine, in the virtualhere right click USB Servers -> Advanced, last tab Restore Defaults Button

That will clear the auto use

 That client has auto use set.

#5

I got feedbacks from my clients that the issue persist even after making reset default settings!

What would be the probem!!

#6

Auto use is on, you need to find the client doing that. Virtualhere does not autouse devices by itself, someone is using that setting on a client
