Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 27
### What happened
I've been using NetBeans without closing the application for the night on my developer Windows 11 VM. After upgrading to NB 27 I found the application closes overnight. The previous versions (from 10 to 25) did not. I always use the official Windows installer, whichever is available from the Download page. NB 27 was installed from the Friends of Apache NetBeans package. I would like to help investigating this issue, but I do not know where to start, or which log files and which extra log settings might be interesting.
### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
NetBeans Platform
### How to reproduce
Start NetBeans 27. Work. Sleep. Check it in the morning.
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
Apache NetBeans 25
### Operating System
Windows 11 x64
### JDK
JDK 24
### Apache NetBeans packaging
FoAN provided installer
### Anything else
I experience it about 3-4 times a week.
### Are you willing to submit a pull request?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the overnight closure with NetBeans 27 on Windows 11 x64, using JDK 24 and the Friends of Apache NetBeans installer. Start by identifying which NetBeans logs or Windows crash evidence are available after the application exits, then compare the behavior with NetBeans 25. Done means establishing a reproducible cause or a sufficiently specific failure report.
