Keyboard spamming keys randomly

My keyboard randomly spams keys at completely random times, and sometimes restarting my PC doesn't work till it just wears off. After a little digging, I found that I had the same problem as the person in this post;

Keyboard spamming keys - Microsoft Community

Reinstalling drivers didn't work either and I decided to only follow method 2 after reading the replies, the solution works, but a different problem arises,

After completing method 2, I had the same problem as HamzahAhmed2 whereas my Ctrl, Windows, and Alt key no longer work.

The method I followed;
[
Method 2
1. Press the Windows + Q keys and type CMD;
2. Right-click on Run as Administrator;
3. Paste the commands below:

REG DELETE "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout" /V "ScanCode map" /F
REG DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "NoWinKeys" /F

Now do the keys work correctly? If not, do the procedure below:

1. Press the Windows + Q keys, type and click on Notepad;
2. Paste the values ​​below into the notebook:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00,00,5b,e0,00,00,5c,e0,00,00,5d,e0,00,00,44,00,00,00,1d,00,00,00,38,00,00,00,1d,e0,00,00,38,e0,00,00,00,00

3. Click File> Save, name it Keyboard.reg and click OK (Save to the desktop);
4. Right-click on Keyboard.reg and select Merge;
5. Click Ok> Yes> Yes.
6. Restart the system.

If the behavior persists, proceed to the next method.
