Windows 10: keyboard

Shift key, ctrl, and alt all make my keyboard weird. I turned off windows hotkeys and the xbox gamebar and uninstalled all the programs that the keyboard opened. When I try to use some solutions, I am unable to type and only able to use some hotkey shortcuts like esc which puts me in another tab. The only solution that has worked for me so far is slamming the entire keyboard and hope it's fixed. That doesn't work anymore and makes the following happen. It makes backspace erase entire words and makes the A key highlight all letters. When I first press shift now, the D key opens calendar. It also makes my ctrl key stuck making me type whatever i had copied everytime I press V. Sometimes it also makes me unable to type C,V, and H. The Z key acts like normal backspace but it also highlights like the A key. My mouse is also affected by this. I'm now sure how but left click doesnt work. It opens menus or downloads links.
