Describe the bug
Virtual Driver Control fails to Enable or Restart VDD once it is disabled
Manually re-enabling it from device manager fix the error until I decide to disable it through Virtual Driver Control
Steps to reproduce
- Do: VDD > System > Disable Driver
On Device manager: VDD appears disabled
-
Now try to restart or enable VDD (inside System > Enable Driver)
-
Same thing if I try to restart in stead of Enable
Expected behavior
Virtual Driver Control should be able to report the correct status for VDD := Disabled (in stead of showing error)
Virtual Driver Control should be able to enable VDD if it is disabled
Log File
When I disable VDD:
[ACTION] Disabling Virtual Display Driver...
[INFO] Searching for Virtual Display Driver in Device Manager...
[INFO] Driver disabled successfully through Device Manager.
[DEBUG] Set icon to disconnected state after disabling driver
[SUCCESS] Virtual Display Driver disabled successfully.
[DEBUG] Updated icon to disconnected status after disabling driver
When I try to Enable it while it is disabled:
[ERROR] No disabled display device found that could be enabled.
[INFO] Trying alternative approach to enable display device...
[ERROR] Alternative approach failed to enable the driver.

and above this, I could read:
