Windows 10: Realtek PCI GbE family controller disappeared.

So, I would like to start from the very beginning so bare with me. I just moved from my home to a new apartment, I forgot my Ethernet cord so I decided to buy one from Walmart. I went to use the Ethernet cord and everything worked fine until it started to disconnect every few minutes. Of course since everything worked fine I thought it was the cord. I bought a new one and it did the same thing.I then decided to uninstall and reinstall my network controller through the Realtek website since windows wasn’t able to install it for me. It worked fine for a day. However, there was a lightning storm

I have checked in 'advanced' etc, the driver is listed as Microsoft 10/05/2013, 8.1.510.2013 which is says is up-to-date.

Is there really a problem and if so what do I need to do?
