Is it the update, or is it the rebooting?

Motherboards can always supply power to USB ports, or only power them
while booted up, or only supply a tiny amount of power in standby mode
(which may be enough to wake up a computer by pressing a key on a
keyboard, but not enough to drive some hardware properly).  There may
be jumpers relating to USB power, or BIOS/UEFI settings about that.

At switch on, or during the reboot power-on/off cycle, the USB port may
be down, and not powered up quick enough.  Perhaps it glitches coming
on, and upsets the dongle.

You could try setting a USB port to "always on."  Alternatively,
perhaps you need the opposite?  So the USB port switches off then on
again during a reboot, and resets the dongle.
