Windows 10: All my lower keys except spacebar do not work

As mentioned in the title, my ctrl, alt and windows key do not work for some reason, I can't copy paste, alt tab out of my screen or open the windows bar by tapping the windows key. I have tried multiple fixes such as reinstalling keyboard drivers, troubleshooting, using commandprompt to fix it but none of these have worked for me. My alt gr key worked when the issue started but now its not working aswell. I am using a ROG strix flare keyboard and I cant get ASUS to help me.

Windows Key + Spacebar not working

Kathleen

Tried using SFC as you suggested and it went through all the steps successfully, but Windows key + Spacebar still doesn't work.

Looked at the link you gave and I see that one of the posts with a similar problem was using an HP Pavilion - same as me.

But it was the keyboard shortcut was working till the upgrade.

I've not tried Andre's suggestion yet.
