Intel I225-V/AX211-160 connection issues.
Lately have been experiencing constant connection issues either via ethernet or wifi on my desktop. The on-board adapters are the ones in the title. Issues range from websites failing to load, to OBS docks not loading data, to connection dropouts in online games.
System is an i5-12600K, 32GB (2x16) Corsair Dominator DDR5-5200, Asus TUF RTX-3080Ti, MSI z670-A Pro Wifi, running Win11.

I know the old adage of not using a driver updating tool since they're often bad or do some malicious things, but I stand by using Snappy Driver Installer

I'd recommend getting the lite version and then downloading the newest indexes, then have it find new drivers. It'll more likely than not fine new ones for your network adapters

Looking for drivers? Snappy Driver Installer is a free driver updater with a huge driver collection for offline use.
Not sure if related. But I had an odd ass issue where my Ethernet connection would disconnect during some kind of usage. It’s not the Intel i255 though. But the only thing it seemed I could do was reboot the pc.
I did find that HP had an NIC update. It seems to have solved it.
the I225-V is known to be riddled with issues, have you tried the MSI provided driver already?
Yeah.
