Windows 10: Windows 11 loses Ethernet connection, various programs freeze, but others remain responsive

I have been having a doozy of a weird issueAt what seems like random intervals my PC will lose its network connection and some applications will become non responsive or exceptionally slow to respond, additionally when trying to reboot during this, it will get stuck at "Restarting" or "Shutting Down" indefinitely.Windows explorer seems to completely break, the start menu works, I can search for programs, but nothing will launch.The task manager will show details but only update if the window is resized or moved.Chrome tabs can be switched and interacted with just fine, and items will continue

Ethernet keeps losing connection

Ethernet keeps losing connection for some reason. I thought it was wireless as the picture shows.

it looks like it's wireless can't connect and this is happening with Ethernet is connected. It loses connection once every 2 minutes and that's no joke and lasts for a couple of minutes. Correct me if I am wrong but it should connect to wireless when this happens. As I have the wireless connection set up. But Ethernet won't let it connect I know this as I have been wireless for 2 weeks now. I haven't lost connection once. But I would like to be connected through Ethernet as I lose 60 meg going wireless and I am right next to router. Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this? Thank you in advance.
