Windows 10 pc keeps disconnecting from internet

Question

My pc has been disconnecting from the internet since i got it. It cut out when i worked, when i play games and especially when i watch anything on youtube.

I have researched this all over the internet and tried so many things to fix this, such as "network adapters>power management>unchecked allow this computer to turn off this device to save power", setting power options to "balanced" and a couple other things. I am not on a proxy, tried troubleshooting the network adapter and so on.

The weird thing is, all of the other devices in the house will stay connected while i disconnect, but occasionally while i stay connected, the other devices disconnect. This gets very annoying very quickly, and it has been an ongoing issue since i got my pc.

It has even costed me a comfy, work at home job. Any info or fix related to this issue would be greatly appreciated.
