    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1

    Open Command Prompt, then run this command and press Enter:

    msdt.exe -id KeyboardDiagnostic

    Run that Keyboard Troubleshooter to see if that can solve the problem.

    2

    If that does not resolve this for you

    Open Device Manager

    Expand the Keyboards section

    Right click your keyboard and choose 'Uninstall'

    Then restart your PC

    Connect another external keyboard to your system, is that working correctly?

    Bring up the on screen keyboard, is that working correctly?

    If both of those are working correctly, you will need to replace your keyboard, there is a fault on it.
