The app turns off sometimes.

Describe the bug
Ds4windows suddenly turns off without any warning from time to time.

To Reproduce
It's hard for me to reproduce on purpose.

Screenshots and Logs
Sadly, there was no useful information in the log file.
So I added these event viewer screenshots.

Desktop
Controller Make and Model: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
OS: Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, 21H2, 19044.6332
DS4Windows Version 3.9.9

What is more frequent, crashing or turning off? Does it randomly turn off while using a pad?

Sorry, I'd rather say it's not "crashing" but "turning off".
Or should I say it is crashing? I'm not sure because it literally doesn't show anything to me when it turns off.
That's why I added the event viewer screenshots, not a Ds4windows log file which doesn't have any useful information.

And yes, it randomly turns off while I'm playing a game with using my controller.
By the way, the Bluetooth connection between my PC and my controller is still intact even though the app turns off.
So, all I have to do is just run the app again.

Does it disappear from the toolbar (do you have to launch the entire program again)? If so, there is a workaround for that.

Yes, it does disappear and yes, I have to launch Ds4windows again.

In this case, you could try the method I described here: #65
