QGC Joystick Sticks when opening other applications

I’m having trouble with joystick control in the latest version of QGroundControl when I use other software for my ROV’s payloads, such as side scan sonar and camera. When I open the other software, the joystick stops working, and I can no longer control the ROV. However, this issue is resolved when I use an older version of QGroundControl. Is anyone facing the same? How can I fix this in the latest version?
