Kenwood TS-450 sudden failure

I have been using a Kenwood TS-450 with the a digirig for several months.
After not using for a few weeks when I start up WSJTX I get rig control error.
I have not made any config changes. No matter what changes I make I get the same error message. I am ready to throw the digirig into the garbage and start with something else. It has not been a good experience.

Is COM13 still listed in the Device Manager?
Any change other software could be holding COM port? Computer reboot can help with this.
