Windows 10: Malfunctioning play/pause media key

Alright I've had this issue for several weeks now and still haven't managed to figure out the issue so I'll just kind of list things in chronological order

• Before the newer update, my internal keyboard broke due to liquid being spilled on it, and as I can't afford to have it replaced, I bought an external keyboard. I wanted to disable my internal keyboard as it was broken but that wasn't an option so instead, I replaced the driver with an incompatable one. Everything worked fine.
• At some point the pause/play button which on my internal keyboard was f10 broke off completely including the little rubber button part of it meaning it now doesn't get any input.
• Then the new update happened making that hack of replacing the driver impossible as it would reinstall/fix itself each time and you can't change it without restarting even as a temporary fix.
• At this time my computer became very buggy but the main issue was now if I play any media at all music, videos, etc. the play/pause key repeatedly is pressed and thus I can't properly listen/watch anything. I managed to disable this key's affecting my browsers but that's where my success has ended.
• I've tried every trick in the book to disable or reroute that key specifically in hopes that would work but it hasn't stopped the issue or even succeeded in disabling the correct key
• I've also tested this while my external keyboard is unplugged and the problem persists so it's definitely something having to do with my internal keyboard.

Does anyone have any idea what the issue is and how to actually fix it? If there's a way to just disable media keys pause/play, skip, etc. from working entirely with any apps or programs that would solve the problem it seems like but I have no idea how to do that. Forums I've painstakingly combed through have said there should be a check box to disable media keys under control panel and hardware/keyboard but i've scoured through any and all keyboard settings and found nothing like that.

Media auto play and pause

Hi

while playing audio /video in builtin groove music or 3rd party vlc player I am facing issue that media randomly play and pause contentiously . I confirmed there is no keyboard input by opening word(so no key pressed).

 

Volume is increasing when media is paused and then played !

When I pause and then play media in applications , be it VLC player , Windows Media Player or any other , the volume increases automatically ! HELP PLEASE ! It is really frustrating adjusting volume very time I pause and play.

 

Disable the media playback (play pause menu) when adjusting volume (via f7 f8 keys)

Let us disable the media playback (play pause menu) when adjusting volume (via f7 f8 keys) (for films and TV).
