Media library getting lost when rdp is closed

Server Version#: 1.32.3.7192-7aa441827
Player Version#: ATV app 8.20 (6066)

I didn’t had an issue for three years with this setup.
I’m using Plex media server on an Windows 11 laptop and a Apple TV 2022 with both Plex and Infuse for playing the media.
The laptop is hidden with my furniture’s, so to be able to manage my local media, I use windows rdp (remote desktop) between my main pc and the laptop, having Plex server installed.

But recently, I noticed that both Infuse and Plex don’t find my media library when I close the rdp window from my main PC which doesn’t act as either an server nor a player. It’s just used for managing the library.

If I open the rdp window/session again, both Plex and Infuse suddenly find the library again and listing them. And of course, If I close the rdp window again, the media cant be played, and if I restart the Plex/Infuse app, the library is not “online”/acccessabile.

I have tested this 10 times, and every time I reopen the rdp session between the main PC and the laptop (Plex server), the problem will disappear. But once closing it again, the problem will occur.

I’m trying to figure out if its a Windows, Plex or an network issue, because its so strange that the Plex player on the Apple TV losing the media library just because the main PC closes the rdp session with the server.

The laptop (Plex server) is always on, disabled all energy savings and so.
What can the issue be ?

I rather not having the rdp window open constantly, just for being able to use Plex.
Since the main PC and the laptop (Plex server) rpd connection is somehow soo important, please help me to understand the issue, thnx.
