Expected Behavior

When renaming the profile, any service connected to in settings > stream should stay connected, which it does if the service was already connected at OBS launch.

Current Behavior

If a profile is renamed on the same OBS session where the service was connected, it will then disconnect it.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new profile
  2. Connect under settings > stream (both twitch and youtube have that behaviour)
  3. Rename the profile
  4. Notice settings > stream got disconnected
    ...
Anything else we should know?

Trace how renaming a profile updates the connected service state, then verify that an already-connected service remains connected after the rename on the same OBS session.
