Windows 10: Any workaround for broken keyboard pressing multiply keys on single keypress?

So when I press "h" it presses h6j. Some letters press caps lock which is very annoying. Can it be possible to make ot so that every time "h6j" is pressed at the same time, it enters only h?

Booting without press any key

@dhievm go ahead and list the model number that gives exact specs/info.


Does it stop right at the Toshiba logo and sit there? Will it sit forever til you press a key, or will it eventually work after so long?
