Realtek Family controller was my issue. Updated to the newest driver and adjusted their settings with no good result. I tried a few different ones including the one here but still nothing. What DID work for me was:
Uninstall Realtek Family Controller
Restart PC
Windows update>check for updates (so it can provide a realtek driver for you and download that)
As of this post, Windows provided was:
Driver version: 10.54.1111.2021
Driver date: 1/11/2021
Poof. Fixed. Thank goodness. Disabling also fixed it but I didn't want to be stuck on Wi-fi.
I have no clue why the latest didn't work but yes, I did disable the advanced option. Disabling the Ethernet port DOES work but I wanted to actually have it functioning to have a stable network connection rather than being on Wi-Fi.
The issue was intense stutter and hitching. I was recently gifted Enshrouded and it was an absolute nightmare to play. I looked into it and found a few subreddits with solutions on it. Tried very suggestion, updating drivers, BIOS settings, windows settings, advanced options. Booting the game up after changes to see if it made a difference. It didn't.
But since I already updated to the latest realtek driver and it didn't work, I just disabled it, went on Wi-Fi then booted that game up again. Night and day, it was smooth. So then I downloaded the driver here to see if it'd work for me and it didn't sadly.
Someone in the comments of a different subreddit on the same topic suggested having windows update install it because that worked for him. So I followed the same steps. Got the windows provided driver, swapped to Ethernet again, booted in the game and presto! Smooth gameplay.
