I’d maybe try systematically turning any other devices off you think could potentially have the grunt to run windows server in a container or VM.
Do you have a Mac/Linux machine handy? If you run arp -a in one terminal and ping the unusual IP in another, that should give you a corresponding MAC address for the device. You can then look up the MAC address and see if it gives you any more info about the device running it—it might not but you never know. You can use something like https://dnschecker.org/mac-lookup.php
I guess next you could look at taking that MAC and blocking it in your router control panel and see if anything starts complaining
Great Idea! My windows box is off and I can still see it from my phone.
Hmm

In addition, you might like to do a portscan on that IP address to see if any other ports reaveal something more interesting.
You can run this in cmd prompt, I think, if nmap is available on your windows machine:
nmap -p 1-9999 192.168.1.1IIS can only run on a windows OS, so it must be a windows physical machine or VM connected to your network.
