Windows 10: Keyboard not responding

I don't know what this phenomenon is called. When I use the keyboard, it doesn't respond and I have to do it 2-3 times to get a response. As you can see in the video, the items in Device manager seem to have to refresh before my computer keyboard responds. My computer information: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit 10.0, Build 26100 ROG Strix G513RM_G513RM AMD Ryzen 7 6800H with Radeon Graphics 16384MB RAM DirectX 12Video: https://youtu.be/HUzq0DCRGiU
