not positive, you may have luck setting the "Alive message interval" to 30 (from https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-i...rking/dlna). Are you able to enter the server's ip directly into the app and connect that way (e.g. http://192.168.0.XX:8096)?
Or is your connection lost after windows has been running for a while and you put the address in manually already? in which case it could be firewall/antivirus related (check traffic to and from 8096 is allowed for your local network); or possibly that your server is changing ip addresses (if the server is on both wifi and wire may swap between the two confusing your client, or your router may change the dhcp lease that your server has)? Also make sure that the computer isn't entering into some sort of low-power mode and disabling background tasks.
don't know if those'll solve your issue but hopefully will give you something to start ruling out.
