I recently cloned the Windows 11 partition from my Thinkpad X1C3 to my new X1C12, and everything seems fine except for one major issue: the keyboard only works after a reset, not when I start the laptop from a complete shutdown. I'm curious about what Windows 11 might be doing during that cold boot process to fix the keyboard issue, and is there a way to make that fix permanent?

Just a heads up: messing with BIOS settings can sometimes lead to data loss. Make sure your backups are up-to-date before making any changes! It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Sounds like you might have some driver conflicts. Did you run a "sysprep" before you cloned the system? It helps avoid such issues. If you didn’t, it could be worth trying to run it now after cloning to clean up any conflicts.
