vSphere Client USB redirection used to work, now "No USB Devices"

I am running ESXi 5 and have been successfully using USB Redirection from the vSphere Client to my VM's on this installation of ESXi, this desktop, and the same VMs but it just stopped working.  I have done no updates, no reboots, no reinstalls of any kind with the VMs or ESXi although I cannot guarantee that Microsoft didn't udpate something on my Windows 7 Pro desktop since the last time I passed a local USB device to a VM.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the USB Controller on the VM.  What else can I try to solve this problem?

I figured it out, sort of.  I isolated it to the desktop I was using.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the vSphere Client and now it works fine.  I have no clue what was wrong, but that made it work.
