Altstore crashes on Windows after a while.

Hello everybody. First of all, thank you for this project. I am using Altstore version 1.5.0.0 on Windows, and I would like to inform you that when the computer starts, everything is ok, the apps are updated quietly. However after a certain period it happens that the device, e.g. iphone, is detected, however trying to update the apps it says could not find Altserver. I specify that I have carried out all the checks, installed Itunes and Icloud directly from the Apple site, activated the synchronization on Itunes, tried to keep Itunes and Icloud open, Iphone and computer are on the same wi-fy network. Finally the Bonjour service is unblocked by the firewall. I think it is a bug of Altstore on Windows, because I also have a Mac, and there is no such problem there. The only way I have found to buffer the problem on Windows is to restart the Apple Mobile device service, with the following command: net stop "Apple Mobile Device Service" && net start "Apple Mobile Device Service" Once this is done Altstore works again. I also tried to restart the pc or restart Altstore but this problem always occurs after a while that the pc is turned on. Can you tell me if there is a way to solve? I leave you all the data of the versions used: Windows 11 pro, updated to the latest version: 10.0.22000 build 22000. Altstore 1.5.0.0. Itunes version 12.12.4.1 Icloud version 7.21.0.23 Thanks a lot! Ambro

Finally, I wanted to clarify that restarting the Apple Mobile Device service, as mentioned above, Altstore returns to work, but after a certain period the problem occurs again. The problem is only about updating apps via wi-fy. Through cable everything works correctly.

I'm pretty sure this is a known issue. I think I saw it on the Trello somewhere...
