ASUS - ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI --> LAN / WiFi not working

[Cymatic]

I just finished building my new system using the above mentioned motherboard as a base and after I finished installing Windows 10 Pro x64, I wanted to start searching in the internet the drivers I need for the whole system.

There was no internet connection although everything was correctly connected. (Yes, I tried swapping cables, although this was just stupid as I just removed my old rig from the cable and it was working beforehand)

I used my laptop to download the drivers from ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI | ROG Strix | Gaming Motherboards｜ROG - Republic of Gamers｜ROG Global with name:

"Intel LAN Driver V1.1.4.43 for Windows 10 64-bit.(WHQL) - Version 1.1.4.43 - 8.1 MB 2024/12/05"

I then used a flash drive to transfer the driver to my newly build system and after I started the setup, a command window opened for a split second and it that was it. The problem remained. I then looked for other drivers tried several and Windows said the best drivers are already installed, but the device manager says there are no drivers for that device... I'm really baffled.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9950x / / / GPU: Radeon 9070xt / / / OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

Please help!

So, an Update:

I've tried every possible driver and it didn't work. I also tried to install the drivers for my graphics card and it said, that my windows isn't supported, although I downloaded it specifically for my Windows, so I had enough and installed Windows 11 and that wasn't easy either. Because the media creation tool didn't want to work at first too on another computer if I may add. This unnerving window pop-up and immediate disappearance is just making me break something... But Windows 11 seemed to fix my problems, which is insane...
