I have SURFACE PRO LAPTOP and if I don't push any buttons on my keyboard for a few seconds it goes into some sort of idle mode, none of the buttons I push do anything until I push them a second time to wake them up. This is very annoying and I cannot find away to turn it off as I am using windows 11 and the device manager doesn't have a power management tab.
Can anyone help me to fix it?

Please open Device Manager, find the "Human Interface Devices" list, right-click on each of the "usb input devices", open Properties, go to its Power Management tab, and cancel the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to to save power". It will take effect immediately after you confirm it.
