Windows 10: Keyboard not working properly Windows 10

Two things happened at the same time, it all started when i was playing a game and pressed Esc in order to open the menu but instead it went to my computers initial screen, my mouse wasn't appearing and when i pressed any button on my keyboard it didn't work and made a default windows 10 harp sound, and i couldnt even ctrl alt del. Apparently only when i pressed M the game opened, but once i pressed esc the same thing keeps happening. Alt+F4 solved the problem and closed the game for good, but once i opened chrome i couldn't type, each button had a different functionality than it should.
