I need help troubleshooting a somewhat annoying problem regarding my network card.

So I recently bought a TP-Link Archer TX3000E network card to start using a better wifi connection and finally replace the shitty (and generic branded) usb dongle I was using for months now (moved in to a different house and due to my pc being in my room and the house not having ethernet outlets, I am unable to get a cable connection directly to my PC). I made sure beforehand to check if it is compatible with my motherboard (HUANANZHI X99-BD4) and its specifications, got *all* the proper drivers installed for the network card and everything else needed in my windows 10 to run it.

Though despite the wifi and bluetooth connecting and functioning normally, a major issue arose when I tried playing internet hungry games; Due to either an error or something else which I still am trying to figure out, the network adapter in windows disables itself in the middle of said activities at either random intervals or internet spikes and the only way to 'fix' it back to normal is using the windows troubleshooter. Now, if this happened maybe once or twice it wouldn't be an issue, but it happens EVERY single time I try playing something that requires lots of bandwith (GTA V, War thunder, VRchat and etc).

I have tried nearly every trick, solution and method under the sun: changing adapter options, unplugging the card and usb plug from the motherboard, enabling metered connection, changing between 2.4/5g, disabling firewall, installing MULTIPLE versions of the driver (previous versions and also european/american ones), even going as far as carefully adjusting PCIE settings in the bios, though NOTHING seems to work at all.

I genuinely cannot get a refund on the card since it came internationally and I also do not want to drill holes in my wall to pass cabling quite yet, if theres something minor or major I could do to troubleshoot this, i'd be in heavens right now.
