I recently assembled my new computer and connected the Ethernet cable, but it isn’t appearing in Device Manager or elsewhere. After switching to the same cable, everything functioned fine. Now it’s missing entirely. I tried a wireless adapter, but performance suffered—slow speeds and frequent lag during games. Previously I had stable pings and download/upload speeds over 100 Mbps; now they drop below 40 Mbps and fluctuate unpredictably.

No, I haven't installed any drivers for your motherboard yet.

Unknown which driver to use; make sure you check the manufacturer's recommendations for your ASUS Prime Z590M-plus.

If you look under the "support" section on the official ASUS product page here and select the "Driver & Tools" tab then pick the apropriate OS from the dropdown, I presume Windows 10 64-bit, It'll display a list of compatible drivers, the one labeled as LAN is what you're looking for and it shows up as the first one for me. All that said given the Windows update issue you posted about in this thread and that this is a new build I'd personally just assume windows is also borked and change the BIOS settings to support 11 then clean install 11. That'd probably fix your Windows update issue and get you on a newer OS, albeit it's an extreme solution. Edited February 25, 2022 by HeroRareheart Spelling and grammar corrections.
