Windows 10: Loss of connection - Ethernet Controller

Hi, I've had my new Windows 11 PC now for about 2 months and every few days when I turn it on it loses it access to the Internet due to it claiming 'The IntelR Ethernet Controller 31225-V adapter is experiencing driver - or hardware-related problems.' If I wait a few hrs 3-4 & come back to it and turn on, my problem has gone. This is very frustrating. Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause and a fix? Thank you in advance

:)

Loss of Ethernet connectivity after update.

I lost the use of my Ethernet connection after the automatic critical update to my Windows 10 of two days ago. My wireless connection still worked. When I restored my system to pre-update status, my Ethernet connection was restored. I assume at some
point soon the automatic update will occur again. What do I do to prevent the loss of my Ethernet connectivity?
