Download problems (when trying to download large files)

Hello, I have a curious problem on my Windows 11 PC.

I am connected directly to the LAN via ethernet to a 900Mbps fiber connection.

However, when I try to download largish files (several hundred MB or several GB) from sites like zoom, wetransfer, facebook, I often get a generic "download error" message.

I've tried download the same files on Edge and Chrome, logging out and in, opening a private/incognito window, resetting the internet settings and running diagnostics. I've also checked the internet speed and latency.

The downloads often start okay, but stop after sometimes 30-40MB or maybe even getting to 60%. Sometimes I can click on resume, but the download begins from scratch. Sometimes, I will try again a few hours or a day later, and the file(s) *might* download to completion.

Other downloads (of small image files, say) or streaming of YouTube, Netflix, etc. never seems to have a problem.

I know for sure that it's a PC configuration problem because I tried the same downloads on a Windows 10 laptop, connected to the same router via WiFi, and all the files downloaded (albeit slightly more slowly) without a hitch.

Any ideas or suggestions on what I can do next?

Thanks,
Gary

PS *I* am the IT person at our group. I have admin access to the router and the PC, of course.

Ethernet works only after deleting Network Adapter followed by Restarting PC

Everytime I start my PC Ethenet is not detected. I have to uninstal Network Adapter and Restart my PC.Then only Ethernet comes to life.
Why do I have to do these manoeuvres. I also have Auslogics Driver Updater but it's not of any help. Let me know how I can get Ethernet immediately after starting my PC.
Thanks

How to recover deleted download folder files

After using Auslogics BoostSpeed to try and increase the free space on my main drive C, I've accidentally purged my entire Downloads folder and deleted everything that was stored there which made my to try and recover the files. First using Auslogics BoostSpeed to try search for them unsuccessfully as well as several other software that does the same. I've only managed to find few of the files I was looking for during one of the early scans which I foolishly did not try and immediately recover which caused me to no longer be able to find the files in later searches to find more of it.

Is it possible to undo the cleaning processes of Auslogics BoostSpeed so that it could revert the state of the folder to one that never lost its contents?
