Internet Sharing disconnects

[TXGTOU]

I've started having this problem and it happens after I turn the screen off on my phone. I haven't made any changes to my phone or computer, but I'm sure Windows has decided to make some changes in the background (good ole windows). I notice when I don't turn off my phone's display, it can stay connected for awhile. Will try on another Windows computer and will try to report back, unlike that slackers before me....

So I found out through some testing, mine is simply the USB connection on my phone. Apparently it's become a little worn and the connection isn't what it used to be. Told you I'd report back!
