Windows 10: Keys Disabled on pc but keyboard works fine on other computers

I have had this problem for around a month where certain keys have not been working on my pc but when I plug my keyboard into another computer, the keys work and it is fine and I have tried to uninstall my keyboard drivers and everything and I have run multiple virus tests but nothing is working and also when I press the shift key and try to press the certain keys, their other functions will work such as the period key that works for the less than symbol when I use shift but the regular period key itself is not working which is why I am not using periods I don't know if it a certain process is disabling certain keys or if they are not registering and I am having the same problems with my keyboard with the on-screen-keyboard SOMEONE PLS HELP!!

Keyboard Media/Volume keys not working, only on this computer, and only this keyboard

The media keys, volume knob, sleep button and mute button on my "Das Keyboard 4 Professional" keyboard stopped working a few weeks ago after a reboot that I think was caused by a Windows Update.

I've tried the following steps to try and solve the issue:

• Try a different keyboard - The media keys on a logitech wireless usb keyboard work fine, even in the same USB port.
  
• Try keyboard with another PC - When plugged in to my laptop the Das Keyboard media/volume keys work fine.
  
• Try another USB port - No difference
  
• Tried completely wiping any trace of the keyboard from the registry/device manager, then plugging it in again - No difference.
  
• Created a new user on the PC - No difference.
  
• Ensured the HID Human Interface Service is running.
  
• Disable touch keyboard and related services.
  

What could be causing this?

Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...
