I don't have a thumb drive with me at the moment. Are there other options you'd like to try to test it on Windows?

Fixed the problem by testing five different Ethernet cables (two new ones). The most recent one I used is fully functional with no lag after 30 minutes of use.

Where some of the ethernet cables are fake. The most common counterfeit cables are those flat ones with wires that are too thin to meet the standard. There are also cables made from copper-clad aluminum wire. Using cables that don’t meet ethernet standards leads to very unpredictable and unusual problems. Some devices handle these invalid cables better than others, resulting in inconsistent test outcomes. Most users experience significant issues. The main concern is encountering these random strange problems. Even a cable that complies with the standards can fail over time. It often happens due to slight corrosion on the pins or a wire that no longer makes full contact inside the RJ45 crimp on the plug.
