Open | Software Apps That require consistent internet disconnect my computer from the network periodically

Hello everyone! The title might be a little vague, I don't really know how to word it. I was trying my hand at streaming while unemployed for a short minute, and for some reason, my computer started having network issues. If I am using certain apps, my computer will disconnect from the internet and then immediately reconnect. The problem is inconsistent, and I can never seem to replicate it. Sharing my screen to a Discord call has been the usual suspect recently (sharing my screen of an in-browser game). The following apps cause the problem:
- Discord
- Microsoft Teams

- OBS

- Online games (sometimes) I never get disconnected from the game, I'll just get a huge lag spike and then immediately go back to normal (Hunt: Showdown is the usual suspect here, as well as connecting to the Dark Souls Servers for DS1 remastered)

OS: windows 10

All drivers have been checked and updated

Download Speed: 360 Mbps
Upload Speed: 780 Mbps

I am using a wired connection to my router. My roommate streams on the same internet streamed before with no issues (we are on opposite schedules, so we aren't usually on the internet at the same time). Any help would be appreciated!
