System Workbench for STM32

Every time I try to change settings I get an error reading the ST-Link device. However, I am able to get the correct mode.
So far no success.

0) I verified this process works on a non-bricked CPU
1) I connected the first time and tried to do a "Full Chip Erase". It told me to "connect under reset", as seen in the log below.
2) I change the settings to "Connect Under Reset" and tried again (note: I have to unplug the usb dongle and replug before I can get it to do anything). I find it odd that the ST-Link device goes TU so easily.
