Windows 10: Network adapter shuts down when PC running with UPS battery

So every time there is a power outage i lose internet connection right away, even though I have internet access, my modem is on UPS and my PC is also running fine with its own UPS. Other devices have no internet issues is just this PC.My logic tells me the adapter enters in some kind of power save mode and shuts down until power comes back on, when navigating to the properties of the adapter this has no "Power management" function so, this is not a laptop by the way and also this is an Ethernet adapter not wifi.Any clues on how to make sure my adapter does not do that when the power
