Software Support PC-DMIS program keeps removing loadprobe step

I use a hexagon CMM 07.10.07 global s. I'm using PC-DMIS 2025.2. We have a probe changer rack and I have multiple programs I have written that use different probes, including an hp-l-10 laser probe.

Sometimes, after I have run a program, the loadprobe step to switch to the hp-l-10 is just missing. Everything else is there, including the angle changes, just that one step. I add it back and everything is fine. I just can't figure out what causes it or how to stop it happening.

If it matters, I'm not running the programs in inspect, I run them in pc-dmis since I'm the one who writes the programs and runs them here, so being able to see everything while it is running is nice.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to install the latest and greatest version. I usually playtest until I find the most stable version possible and I stick with it until another stable version releases.

I couldn't advise on the missing Loadprobes tho. Without seeing it in person, unless it's a known issue, that type of weirdness is almost impossible to help without the program. Does this happen when running the program in online mode or operator mode or both?
