Greetings
Using nodejs, I am running a generic express https web server that is serving to my local network. Running on a windows 10 machine, the server is able to make connections with all devices on my lan without any problems. That is until a couple minutes pass by and the server seemingly goes idle, ceasing to responding to any requests made by any devices. Hitting enter in the console fixes this problem but is not preferable. Is there a way to keep node running at all times? I am sadly not able to switch to a different os, if this is some sort of windows task focusing feature then I would presumably be out of luck.
