I use a HP EliteBook 8460p which runs Windows 10 Pro and it was working fine for almost a year. But now all the letters in the 'qwerty' line except 't' and 'y' are not working. There is no response when I click on the key. I tried updating the drivers (Standard PS/2 Keyboard) and also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that didn't work. I also tried troubleshooting but it says the keyboard is working fine.

    Run Keyboard Troubleshooter:

    Settings app > Troubleshoot tab > click on the Additional troubleshooters tab > Locate the Keyboard troubleshooter > Run

    Make sure Filter key is off.

    Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard > Filter Keys > Off

    Try an external keyboard to test the issue. If all the keys are working on external keyboard then it may be a hardware problem of laptop keyboard. In that case visit the authorized service point.

    Nevermind, it's fixed all of a sudden.
