Windows 10: enter key not working intermittenly

at times nothing happens when i push the enter keyi read just now that this could be a driver but i don't think so. my laptop is only three years old and i think all my drivers are up to date.do you suggest something?i am not ableto go out to take the laptop inif the laptop is not level or something is just slightly off could that cause it?aas you can see it's working right now. i have some dexterity problems so sometimes i think that the key has to be struck quite specifically or something miniscule is out of whack with the finger strike angle. i dont know that i've explained this well.thank
