It looks like you are trying to only have guest access, so you must
have 'map to guest = bad user' in '[global]'. You should also be aware
that the latest Win10 versions have guest access turn off by default,
so even if Samba is allowing guest access, Win10 will not use it.

I thought about your problem and wondered if smbd is disconnecting an
inactive connection, it shouldn't be, but if you add 'deadtime = 0' to
'[global]' it should stop smbd disconnecting inactive connections.
