Tbh it's kind of a terrible app. I can never keep it connected and the UX is just painful. The most useful feature is transferring files, but when uploading to my PC the dialog box always closes itself before I can see where the file went.
Disable battery optimization for KDE Connect on Android. (If you're on Samsung you might be screwed. They did weird stuff with optimizations.)

It stays open on my phone with battery optimizations disabled, but the Windows app needs to be manually started from the tray icon after waking from sleep/hibernate for it to work. I've even tried setting up a scheduled task to run the app when my PC wakes but it just doesn't work unless I open it from the tray or restart the whole app.
You could create a Task to restart Apps that don't work after Sleep, Windows has an specific event for waking up from sleep (don't know the exact one right now though).
I already had to do that to fix my Bluetooth driver in this exact scenario...
I'll do that post my results here.
