Changes to dynamic linked comps between After Effects and Premiere require restarting Media Encoder

I always have to quit and restart Media Encoder after making changes to a dynamically linked comp in After Effects, before exporting from Premiere.  Otherwise, it shows as Media offline in Media Encoder during the render.  This has been going on for what seems like forever- over multiple past versions.  My Adobe apps are always updated to the latest.  Please fix.

Like I said, all apps are up to date.  Attached pic of system specs.  This has been happening for years across multiple app versions.

Which versions of AME, Premiere and After Effects do you use?  What are your specs (OS, CPU, GPU, memory)?
