Live View occasionally freezes after waking Windows from sleep

Hi everyone, I'm using OctaneRender for Blender with Blender 4.3 on Windows 11 and an RTX 4070 Super. I've noticed a strange issue that happens fairly often after my PC wakes up from sleep. Blender itself continues to work normally, but the Octane Live View either stays completely black or gets stuck showing the last rendered frame. The render doesn't crash, but it never updates again, even if I move the camera or change materials. The only workaround I've found is closing the Live View and sometimes restarting Blender entirely. I haven't seen any error messages in the log, so I'm wondering if this is related to the GPU context not being restored properly after sleep. Has anyone else run into this?
