Description
- OS Windows 11
- Version of IPFS Desktop: 0.26.1
**Describe the bug**
A short amount of time (~hours?) after starting IPFS Desktop, the API endpoint will disappear, resulting in "Could not connect to the IPFS API" when the Status view is opened, and local applications being unable to talk with it.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Start IPFS Desktop
2. Wait an hour or so
3. Open the Status view.
4. See the error.
**Expected behavior**
The API remains up when IPFS Desktop is running.
**Additional context**
I know that the issue is not an improper URL configuration because shortly after (re)starting the IPFS daemon (not necessairly IPFS Desktop) the API works fine.
