We are having a similar problem. We use Leap Motion on five machines, and this has started happening on one of them, after leap motion has worked well for over 1 year.
We have tried reinstalling leap drivers and reinstalling windows, with no luck. Leap motion shows up in the Windows 10 settings but doesn't show up in the Leap Motion control panel.
Two of our five machines have exactly the same hardware (both components and peripherals), this started 1 week ago on one but does not affect the other.
We develop for leap motion Orion using Unity, however this issue persists when LeapMotion isn't running.
