Nugget of wisdom from the comments:
"Device manager hides devices that are no longer connected, even when "Show hidden devices" is on. The workaround is to set an environment variable DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES but this is one of those tips thats not widely know and it can get frustrating trying to fix problems."
