Description

I've found that MP disappears soon after attempting to connect to Copter-4.0.3-dev (aka "latest"). It's fine when connecting to Copter-4.0.2 (stable). I suspect this is related to the new USB IDs used in master and the windows drivers installed using drivers.msi found in this directory: https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Tools/MissionPlanner/

Research direction

Start by reproducing the connection to Copter-4.0.3-dev versus Copter-4.0.2 and compare the USB IDs and the Windows drivers installed by drivers.msi from the Mission Planner firmware tools directory. Done means Mission Planner no longer disappears after connecting to the latest Copter build while stable connections continue to work.
