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

  1. Do: VDD > System > Disable Driver

On Device manager: VDD appears disabled

  1. Now try to restart or enable VDD (inside System > Enable Driver)

  2. 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.
[ERROR] Failed to enable Virtual Display Driver.

and above this, I could read:

[DEBUG] PowerShell output:
------
All
Display
Devices
------
Device:
Virtual Display Driver
ROOT\DISPLAY\0000
Status:

When I try to restart the Driver:

[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.
[ERROR] Failed to enable Virtual Display Driver.
[ACTION] Reloading driver...
