Unstable Ethernet graph in Task Manager

Hello
For a few days now, I've been having an issue.
When I turn on my PC, the graph of my Ethernet connection has regular spikes that, during these spikes, refresh all my USB devices.
To fix this, I changed the network card to an Asus C-100C, replaced the Ethernet cable connecting me to my box with a shielded cable, completely reset my PC by reinstalling Windows, and updated the drivers for all the PC devices from each manufacturer's website.
The problem is that I play DCS World and my TrackIR consequently disconnects constantly, no matter which port I use.
The desk is powered by a single outlet where there’s a surge protector and anti-interference power strip.
So if anyone has had this issue and resolved it, I would be very grateful.
I have the WiFi 6 box from Bouygues and I'm connected to fiber, and the internet connection works perfectly.
Thank you in advance to those who will respond.

    Yes, but why does my device manager refresh when the spikes are rising?
    I tried to capture the moment

      it's showing spikes at 500 Kbit/s, not 500 Mbit/s...

    Hi,
    the spikes are normal; they measure your network usage, not the available bandwidth. Usage varies depending on what your system and applications are doing, and you can clearly see in the task manager what is consuming network or other resources.
    You'd better forget about a hardware issue; I don't see what the problem is, anyway. The USB disconnections?

    Yes, but the problem is not the connection but the relationship with the peripherals that disconnect every time the Ethernet spikes. The connection itself is fine, but every spike disconnects my peripherals.

      there's something else besides a network issue...
      by the way,
      is it a 10 Gbit/s card?
      try limiting it to 1 Gbit/s, no that's silly, anyway it's connected at 1 Gbit/s to a Bouygues box, if I'm not mistaken.

        Well, yes, I mentioned it in my first message; I detailed everything.
