Answer 1

1. Sometimes profile-specific issues can cause such problems
2. Create a new admin account and see if the keyboard works there
3. You may try an external keyboard and test if that works.
4. Boot from a Linux Live USB to check if the keyboard works there. If it does, it confirms it's a Windows-specific issue.
5. You may try a System Restore. Select any earlier Restore Point when everything was perfect.
6. You can try using Media Creation Tool to repair your system.
