I've got an Acer Nitro V15 laptop running Windows 11, and I want to set it up so that it wakes up when I open the lid or use the built-in keyboard. I don't want to enable sleep or hibernate when closing the lid. I checked the BIOS settings and turned on "USB wake from S4 support" and set "lid open resume" to "on." However, I can't find a Power Management tab for the keyboard in Device Manager, which means I can't check the "allow this device to wake the computer up" option. As it stands, the only way to wake my laptop is by pressing the power button, while touching the keyboard or touchpad during sleep does nothing. Can this be fixed?

You can try running these commands in PowerShell or Command Prompt to see which devices can wake up your laptop:
1. `powercfg -devicequery wake_armed`
2. `powercfg -devicequery wake_from_any`
Check if the keyboard or lid appears in the outputs. If the lid isn't listed, that might be why you're unable to wake the laptop with it. Let me know what you find!
I checked and the touchpad showed up, but I’m not sure about the lid. Shouldn't the lid show as ACPI lid? What do I do next?
