I also thought that macOS 10.13.1 Beta 2 (17B35a) solved it, but it didn't.
Immediately after installation of Beta 2 finished, I logged in and was able to open Resolve Studio 14.0.1 using the dongle. However, after a restart, I was back to the old problem.
I noticed that, after the installation of 10.13.1 Beta 2, I was not asked to enter the password for my startup disk (APFS, Encrypted using FileVault). After performing a user-initiated reboot, I was prompted to enter the password to unlock my disk, as usual; and, thereafter, I could not open Resolve Studio using the dongle.
I am very suspicious that the way that High Sierra handles USB devices during startup when the startup disk is encrypted (since many of my USB devices seem to go through two startup sequences: first when the system loads the "Enter password to unlock disk" screen, and then again after the disk is unlocked. (Since it sounds like the Resolve Dongle is not hot-swappable in High Sierra, that second USB startup process might have the same effect as unplugging and re-connecting.)
Can anyone who has had the issue fixed by Beta 1 or Beta 2 please confirm whether or not your startup disk is encrypted? (Open "System Preferences", "Security & Privacy", and look under the "FileVault" tab.)
