My keyboard is suddenly typing the wrong characters. For example, when I hit the backspace key, it types "\" and when I type the Y key, it types "yjh". Any idea why this is happening?

keys typing wrong characters on windows 10

Hello,

so basically the keyboard in my laptop is typing wrong characters: the "P" key types P and right after opens the context menu, and when I press context menu key it does the same thing; the backspace key does not work unless I hold it for a while, and sometimes it types a closing square bracket; when I press enter it simultaneously types a backslash; one key responsible for square brackets is typing them with a colon, the one responsible for colons does the same thing, whilst the closing bracket one acts as backspace etc. Is there something that can be done about this? I tried updating drivers, uninstalling the keyboard, troubleshooting and nothing seems to work.

 

Keyboard types wrong characters

I just installed win10 on my Alienware17.

When I using the default laptop keyboard, most of the keys doesn't work. Some of the keys type wrong characters. For example, when I type C it comes out Z.

My default trackpad doesn't work as well.

However...

When I connect a USB keyboard and mouse to my laptop, everything goes on well.

So what I can do to fix that? I tried the method on "change language in control panel" and I updated all my drivers to most recent version.
