That is too much (unformatted) code to check.

Sending data timer driven is fine. But for receiving you should use an own thread that handles the receiving and supports timeouts. Using serializing might be not the best choice.

When not detecting timeouts and the connection is dropped, the read function will wait forever. Even after establishing a new connection, the pending wait will never finish because the new connection uses a different socket handle.

The typical flow of receiving in a worker thread (not using serialization):
C++
while (1)
{
    // Wait for events using WaitForMultipleObjects() here
    // Events: new data available and stop thread
    // Timeout: According to requirements; e.g. 10 seconds
    
    if (StopEvent)
        break;
    if (TimeOut)
    {
        // Try to reconnect here or break when main thread reconnects
    }
    if (ReceiveEvent)
    {
        // Receive data so that number of package bytes are contained (when not fixed size)
        // Receive complete package here if available
        // Otherwise read available date into buffer and use local variables to continue receiving
    }
    if (CompletePackageReceived)
    {
        // Process it here (deserialize)
        // Send response here
        // Process data here or pass them to main thread
    }
    if (CriticalError) // in any function called above
    {
        // Report error
        break;
    }
}
// Close connection here or in main thread
// Use the return value to indicate the reason why the thread has terminated
//  or pass the state to the main thread
