Audition 2026 stops recognizing audio interface after repairing waveform with iZotope RX Connect

I have a Steinberg UR22C that can operate as both ASIO and MME.  When operating as ASIO, Audition will stop recognizing the interface after applying a spectral repair operation with iZotope RX Connect. It didn’t have this issue a couple days ago.  I perform these steps as follows before it stops recognizing the interface in ASIO mode:

1. I switch from the multitrack view to waveform view
2. I highlight the section I need to repair, choose iZotope RX Connect in the effects list, and hit apply
3. The track opens in iZotope RX, I perform the repair, and click Send Back
4. I open iZotope RX Connect again in the effects list, then hit apply
5. The waveform is repaired, but when I switch back to multitrack view, Audition will stop recognizing the interface in ASIO mode. 

If I close Audition, unplug/replug the interface, and open it again, it will recognize the interface, until I perform the operation above again.  It does not seem to exhibit this issue when operating in MME mode, but this mode is not a viable option for me when I need to record and edit.  

I operate on Windows 11, my OS, drivers, and software are all up to date.  My operating system did update 2 days before the issue started to occur.  

Is there a reason Audition would suddenly stop recognizing my audio interface when performing this operation?  It does not seem to be an issue in other DAWs. Audition is my preferred editor but I’ll have to switch if this can’t be solved unfortunately.
