Intel ethernet not working

[Inkz]

I just built a rig with a Z490 gaming E motherboard. Fortunately the wifi works. I tried using a cable that worked previously with my laptop, didn't even light up on the motherboard. Then I tried a different cable on my laptop, then plugged that in and that worked. I took a nap, came back and it didn't recognize that new cable after plugging it in and out, tested it still works on my laptop too. I did download some network driver from intel because the one from's asus's website didn't seem to work. I manually added network driver for the lan adapter in device manager by giving it the folder because I couldn't figure out how else to do it. I will note that there are still a few unknown devices in device manager and the asus crate thing that launched on first boot up didn't work, I downloaded manually and then it doesn't load on the driver page for that app. I downloaded the older version for chipset because it wasn't beta, don't know why it's so much smaller. I did try to run the lan stuff from asus page but I would hit yes to run and then nothing would happen. Anyone know what to do? I just want ether net to work consistently.
