Windows 10: Keyboard needs to be re plugged when turning on

I have a mechanical keyboard and it needs to be re-plugged everytime i turn my laptop off. It is a recent problem as I have been with my keyboard for at least a year. Also, W + A, and Alt + W, keys are now ghosting. I cleaned my keyboard and changed W and A switches and I don't know if it is a corrupt driver because I tried uninstalling keyboard drivers and restarted but the problem is still there. What can I do next? If I remember correctly, this happened around the same time a windows update came.
