USB-A 3.0 to ethernet adapter stuck in USB 2 speed

I bought this USB-A 3.0 to ethernet adapter, connected it to a USB 3 port, but i'm only getting about 300mbps.

It turns out that the adapter negotiated a USB 2.0 connection (as shown by USB Device Tree Viewer)

However, if i use the "restart port" feature, it is then recognised as USB 3 as you can see here

 

My laptop has windows 11 fully updated, latest chipset and realtek drivers installed.

I tested the adapter on 3 others laptops with windows 11, same damn problem.

I tested two others USB-A 3 to ethernet adapter (amazon and asus), same behaviour.

 

Then, I tested the adapter on Windows 10, and it worked as expected! I instantly got a USB 3 link.

 

It seems like this issue is specific to Windows 11., what can i do?

Get a different adapter or do the reset? Or try to get Microsoft to fix that.
