Windows 10: Windows stuck when turn on network adapter

Hi, There are 6 devices Windows 10&11 that have problem specifically when we turn on them. The problem is that the device's desktop is stuck and we can`t do anything until we turn off the network. when we turn on the network adapter or connect the cable, the problem returns. I monitor the processes and local traffic using process explorer and wireshark and no strange process or connection was found. The end users need the internet to do their job, how can I solve the problem?

Install a driver for your network adapter

Go to the list of network adapters in the control panel, turn of the lan and turn it on again. See if that helps.
