The Windows trick is to make a restore point before you start to "optimize" the system.
This allows you to roll back easily.
Optimizers can indeed cripple your system.
Drop out means the system is not able to supply sufficient data in time.
It is a buffer underrun.
This can be the network, it is to slow or to erratic to maintain a steady stream
It can be the PC where some driver is hogging the system.
As mentioned by others, DPC latency checkers can help you to identify the problem

In case of MusicBee you might try Preference > Player and increase the buffer size or load the entire track in memory.
As suggested by others, a homeplug (Ethernet over Power) can solve WiFi problems.
See to it that both units are on the same group.
Maybe optical fiber, they are affordable and maybe less of an hassle to install then a CAT5E cable. Living in an apartment building I have glass fiber. The guys use a compressor to blow it to my apartment at the 5th floor along existing lines.
