Does it make a difference if you use the libusb-1.0 backend? This is not
a solution but rather a troubleshooting step. You can keep your driver
as it is, but switch to libusb-1.0 backend. You need to have libusbk.dll
and libusb-1.0.dll in place to make that work.

I understand that you may have to keep with the libusb0.sys based
driver provided
by Garmin (I used to have one such USB dongle for my old Garmin Vivofit 1).

The other potential work-around is to add a device reset at exit. Usually
this kind of issue is caused by device firmware bug (eg: USB data toggle
issues) and the hope is that the device reset can put the firmware to a good
state.
