- fix application hang on startup

Only Windows updated. Fixed USB not working in Windows host.

Replaced the Windows build (new revision is 4.0.6 r71416). This build should provide the old behavior. That old code is still buggy and will be fixed in one of the next releases but for now it should do it as it behaves exactly like older versions.
