Computer Disconnects From Internet randomly

Hey, my PC keeps randomly disconnecting from the internet. Every 10 or so minutes I have to go to the Wi-Fi settings, disconnect it and reconnect to get my internet back. This is infuriating and I've been looking for a solution for about a month to no avail. This needs to be fixed as it online PC gaming unplayable. I can't stream either since the stream cuts out. This is definitely NOT an internet issue since it ONLY happens to the PC, no other devices. All answers blaming it on my internet will be ignored.

I used to have another PC and it didn't have this issue strangely. But literally as soon as I opened up my new PC, this issue started.

I've  done a lot of searching and pretty much tried every single option under the sun which includes:

Turning off 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' on my network adapter

Turning off IPV6 addresses

Restarting the PC

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Performance and system failures

    Hello, I've opened the Disk Cleanup app as admin, any specific settings you want me to use?

    I gave this a try, I'll let you know if my disconnects are solved.

    Edit: The issue still persists, this actually made it even more frequent!

    Great, if updating my PC and following the other steps doesn't work I'll give this one ago. (I have a workflow that gets disturbed if I have to close everything and I don't want to turn off my PC just yet.)
