Windows 10: New Update causes my internet to randomly disconnect for 5 seconds

Idk if it's just me or anyone else, but after I updated to the recent version my Windows 10, the internet for me started to disconnect randomly but it does reconnect back. It's very frustrating if you're playing a multiplayer game or streaming and this happens in the middle.

Internet Randomly Disconnects: Ethernet Network Adapter Keeps Disconnecting

My internet keeps randomly disconnecting throughout the day. Its a Dell (Windows 10Pro 22H2 - Dell Precision 5770) with Network Adapter: Realtek USB Gbe Family Controller Ethernet. I tried these steps below, no resolution yet:

One thing I noticed, everytime the internet randomly disconnects, I go to Device Manager, and notice the Realtek Network Adapter has totally disappeared from the list (with no option to reenable, even after finding it in Hidden devices).

I have to go through these two steps in this order to bring back internet.

1. Restart Computer
   
2. and then Restart Modem Router. ( I do restart modem by unplugging/plugging back in).
   

If the ethernet disconnects, Restarting the Modem won't work. Neither will Restarting Computer work. It has two be those two steps above in that specific order. I'm curious if having this resolution path, to understand why ethernet adapter disappears. If you can help target or specify why its occurring?

Already attempted this: and the problem still continues

1. Updated Dell Drivers
   
2. Windows Update
   
3. Network Adapter Troubleshooter
   
   
   
4. (a) Network Reset and (b) tried manually uninstalling/reinstalling network drivers separately
   
   
   
5. Tried manually downloading the software drivers at Realtek website Oops!
   
6. Replace cable just in case, but the other computer in home does not have internet randomly disconnect
   
7. Tried:
   

1. Disable these three in Device Manager: (a) Energy Efficient Internet (b) Green Ethernet (c) Wake on Magic Packet
   

I use the modem with another computer, and no issues whatsoever, until I got a new computer.

Note: this is different from previous question, since its looking at a problem/diagnosis path, rather power management settings.

 

After a certain windows update my internet randomly disconnects

About 3-5 hours my internet randomly disconnects for one whole second and comes back the next second. I tried so many techniques and none of them has worked. Reset DNS, reinstall drivers, even some few others things. i just want things to go back to normal.

 

Wifi disconnects for a few seconds

I am having an issue with my HP Envy 17 j177nr laptop. When connected to the internet via wifi, I will lose connection for a few seconds. During this, I will have a "no" symbol over the globe in the taskbar. The laptop will connect back to the internet after 3 - 5 seconds. This happens 2 - 3 times a week. It does not do this more than once in a day, but is annoying when it just randomly disconnects just to reconnect after a few seconds.

Before anybody says that loss of internet for a few seconds is no big deal, it IS a big deal when 90% of the internet usage on this laptop is Final Fantasy XIV, an MMO. Frequent sudden loss of internet can land me penalties and having feature blocked on my account in the game—especially if I am in an instanced dungeon or something with other players.

It is ONLY the laptop that disconnects for a few seconds, all other devices including phones, tablets, other computers including other laptops, gaming consoles, ect all remain online 100% when my laptop disconnects for a few seconds.

I Googled the problem (searched what I named the topic title) but ONLY results pertaining to wifi disconnecting every few seconds came up, there was absolutely nothing regarding wifi disconnecting ONCE but only for a few seconds.

Does anybody know what the problem could be?
