Why does my Powerline Adapter stop working when I turn on my PC?

Hey everyone! I'm having an issue with my Powerline Adapter in a facility where I can't change any settings. It seems to stop working every time I turn on a particular PC, and it only disconnects as long as that PC is on. I've tested the PC with other outlets and everything runs fine, even online. The strange part is that this problem occurs even when the PC's network adapters are turned off. However, when I test the Powerline Adapter on its own, it works without any issues. I can't access the router or any software related to the Powerline Adapter. If anyone has insights on whether this could be a PC issue or if it's definitely the Powerline Adapter's fault, I'd really appreciate your help!

It sounds weird that your Powerline Adapter would have issues specifically when that PC is on. Have you tried resetting or repairing the adapters? Sometimes just unplugging them for a minute and plugging them back in can help. Since it works with other outlets, I wonder if the wiring in that specific outlet might be part of the issue too.

Just to clarify what you mean by 'repairing' your adapters—do you think there’s a specific way to reset them? You mentioned they work fine otherwise, but it might also be worth checking if there are any firmware updates for the adapters themselves or if they need an older model to be compatible with new hardware.
