Keep an eye on Device Manager and note down what the new ports are for each device and re-enter that information into the Gemini driver, etc.
Has happened to me plenty. Some ports are favoured over others sometimes. If it doesn't work on 5, try 6, and so on.

When you've got it working label all the ports and cables and always plug them in the same port and the same order.
If the COM port number gets too high some software won't recognise it. If that happens I unplug all the USB devices, go to device manager, show hidden devices, delete all the COM ports, reboot and plug the USB cables back in, starting with any that demand small COM port numbers.
eg The external hub is always in the right rear port. The Atik 16ic goes in the front right port. The QHY8 goes in the left port. The wireless receiver for my mouse never leaves the external hub. The USB-serial for the Gemini goes in the one next to the mouse. That leaves me 2 ports for devices that don't care what port they are in.
