Windows 10: Experiencing issues with Shift key combinations 'w', 'e', 'u', 'i', 'b' in Windows 11 while...

When I attempt to press Shift along with any of the keys 'w', 'e', 'u', 'i', or 'b' while typing in a document using software like Word or Notepad, or when filling out forms in a web browser, these combinations do not seem to function correctly. I need assistance in resolving this issue.

Shift + B not working after upgrade to Windows 11

I recently upgraded 3 of my computers from Windows 10 to Windows 11. On one computer the combination of [Shift Key + B] does not work. Every other key combination works just fine. My 3 other Windows 11 devices do not have this issue.

The shift key right or left does not matter. Caps lock B works as intended

I will list my troubleshooting steps so far.

Windows On-Screen Keyboard (has the issue as well)

Clean boot

Uninstalling and reinstalling keyboard drivers

DISM to see if there was any corruption

With the On-Screen Keyboard having the same issue makes me believe that it is a Windows error and not a driver incompatibility or hardware issue.
