Keyboard suddenly can't type anymore, only shortcuts

Hi all!

So my father and I are having the same problem with all our Windows 10 devices. The keyboard randomly just stops typing. However, shortcuts are possible like WIN + R, WIN + X, etc.

One device is my desktop computer, which has a Gigabyte Technology Z370P D3 motherboard.
The other device is an MSI GE62 6QD Apache Pro, which is a laptop. And my father's laptop is a Samsung NP355E7C.

I've contacted Microsoft Support about this and have tried the following steps:

• Update Windows including the optional updates.
  
• My OEM didn't have the keyboard driver, but it also was suggested.
  
• The Windows installation has been checked through cmd with the DISM command and another software check command I forgot.
  
• Turn off my Accessibility options in my Keyboard menu (Filter keys, Sticky Keys, Toggle Keys, etc.)
  

Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks, Sanjay. Laptop keyboards usually require a replacement in their lifetime, so I suggest contacting the manufacturer for the next steps.
