Maybe this.

There apparently is a "EloView" management thing that looks after both 
Android and Windows clients, one of the features is a Connectivity Watchdog

https://www.elotouch.com/eloview/support/whats-new-release-1.17-3

"You can now get more reliable connectivity to devices thanks to 
implementation of a connectivity watchdog. Devices can rarely go OFFLINE 
in the EloView portal due to prior network upsets or other issues. The 
watchdog will automatically reboot devices every 24 hours in case they 
lose connectivity. This is an optional feature you can select if you 
notice that your devices lose connectivity – i.e. show OFFLINE on 
EloView when they are in fact connected to the internet."

The network went down, the driver noticed it and attempted to take 
windows down (unsuccessfully).
