Windows 10: Arrow keys in a state of being constantly held down

I'm making a game with Unity and using the left and right arrow keys to move my character. When I press and release the buttons however, they act as if they were remaining pressed down. I've checked for driver and software updates and there currently are none. So how can I fix this issue?

Computer has left arrow key constantly 'held down'

When I use the laptop, whenever a situation occurs where the left arrow key would have an action, the computer seems to have this key held down.

To explain (that wasn't very clear), if I'm on Facebook photo viewer, the arrow keys can be used to move to the next or previous photo. However, it feels as if the left arrow key is constantly down, as the viewer scrolls through all the photos. Another example
is that in any text field, the cursor runs through the text to the end.

This basically makes any text input impossible as I cannot go back to correct things.

This doesn't happen in perhaps the first few minutes of the laptop turning on, which suggests to me that it is software-related rather than hardware. Also, I have tried switching to USB keyboard and the problem still occurs.

I am running Windows 10 on a Dell Ispiron15.

 

down arrow key stopped working

My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?
