After waking up my computer, sometimes some MIDI ports are not active anymore. In such a case I usually unplug and replug the devices to restore the connections. However I have encountered an issue: the port corresponding to the device prior to the connection breakup is still listed by Max while another, new port with the very same name is listed.

It is quite annoying because I can't reset my ports by just sending a "port" message. At first I think the second port was even not listed while the first was not active anymore.

Could the presence of two similar devices (QuNexus) in my setup make the situation worse?

Is there a way to solve this, maybe using the "shell" object?

I have tried to deinstall and reinstall the devices using the device manager before an unplug/replug cycle but it doesn't help. Now neither the first nor the second instance does provice access to the connection...
