Windows 10: How to fix laptop keyboard with frozen keys?

I've been using a black laptop for my college life, but it appears that several keys do not work. When I checked to see what happened to my keyboard, I noticed several keys being unresponsive when pressed: the p key, square bracket keys, backward slash key, and right arrow key. I tried pressing and holding them until they appear on a search bar, Windows + Space, Ctrl + Shift + Windows + Alt, switching filter/sticky keys on and off repeatedly, and uninstalling/reinstalling keyboard drivers. None of them work, yet I wonder if I got a defective laptop keyboard.It's been 30 minutes since my keyboa
