Connecting to AirLink and then quitting it disables hand tracking in the Quest 3 Universal Menu.

If I connect to AirLink and then exit AirLink completely, hand tracking no longer works in my Quest 3 Universal Menu unless I disable and re-enable the setting "Automatically switch between controllers and hands" or restart the Quest 3 headset. My Quest 3 is v79.1034 (build 5115411.17490.520) and the Meta Quest Link app on my PC is v81.0.0.828.254. I've reported the bug via the headset.

Other users are reporting a similar issue with the QuestLink cable connection here and also here.
