I still can't see network activity in task manager in processes tab.
I didn't reinstall windows after motherboard change.
Drivers are downloaded from the official website a few weeks ago.

The Performance tab in Task Manager shows the Ethernet usage properly, but in the Processes tab, if it's svchost or whatever using the network, it'll show 0 or 0.1 Mbps. If I'm downloading something in Chrome for example, it'll display Chrome's network usage just fine. It's just system services (or maybe just the Windows Update service/svchost/whatever) that are hiding their bandwidth usage in the Processes tab

that is what you see, but I know that if a system download is happening I can see it in Processes, its often how I can tell I am getting something

Try this
right click start button
choose command prompt (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its finished, copy/paste this into same window and press enter:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
