How can I get my CAT controls working again?

I was able to create and edit CAT ports, and use Winlink Express with VARA for several weeks in my V3.3.32 SmartSDR on Windows 10 and in a VMWare Fusion virtual machine. I worked my way up to COM10 and everything was fine, except the ports didn't persist between startups of SmartSDR. About a week ago, the CAT control quit working. The CAT program quit opening automatically and I'm having trouble editing, creating, and using the ports. I don't know what made it stop working.
Now, when I try to create the CAT port, it hangs or I receive an error about the VSP failing to create. If I try to edit a port I was previously able to use, I can sometimes save it, but I receive an error in Winlink saying it's unable to open the matching port.
I've reviewed a bunch of posts and I tried reverting to an older backup of the Windows VM, reinstalling SmartSDR, and repairing FlexVSPInstaller. I thought about a factory reset, but I don't see any problem on the Mac side (where I use WSJT-X) and I saw post with CAT problems where a reset was not recommended. Any ideas?

    I submitted a help desk ticket and Ken Wells was able to step me through a process to clean up the mess I had made on the same day. My problem is solved.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
