Network/Domain folder and drives closing automatically after random amounts of time.

Question

This is happening on all of the desktops in our office.  Some of which run Windows 7, some run Windows 10. 

If we open a folder or drive on our office domain, after about 30 minutes the folder/drive closes by itself.  This happens regardless of the activity on the desktop.  My gut is telling me that the server (running Server 2016) is killing the link on it's own, but I can see no setting anywhere that is related to such a feature.

How do I stop these folders from closing?  Most of the time it is just an inconvenience, we just reopen the folder, but if we happen to be working on a file when the folder disconnects, Acrobat files for example, we need to re-open that file and are losing work.

The network drives still remaining mapped, we don't get the "red x" next to network drives, windows explorer just closes on it's own.

I've tried all of the "make sure Power management isn't turning off network card" and stuff like "net config server /autodisconnect:-1" types of fixes on the desktops, to no avail.  I think it is a server thing that is killing the connections for a split second.

Help.
