Windows 10: Software issue with keyboard i.e., typing Y opens up my calculator, typing A functions as...

Hello.I had recently acquired a new computer and keyboard.Everything was running smoothly until I was playing on steam. If you are familiar with the Steam Overlay,it is basically a user interface where you can quickly access chats, invites, and friends list all in-game with the command Shift + Tab. However, I had received an invite on and unintentionally opened it in a video game where Shift and keys WASD are used for movement. After this incident, my keyboard layout hasn’t been the same. The solutions I tried:Factory resetting my PCTrying Left and Right CTRL + Shift + ALTChanging the Language

Windows 10 Calculator keeps opening when typing on a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard

This is really making me crazy. I've uninstalled calc.exe from Windows 10 but the OS keeps putting it back. I uninstall it because whenever I type using the keyboard multiple copies of Calculator open and change the mouse focus. I have also uninstalled
the keyboard software but that didn't help. I have found no solution that works to stop this from occurring. Any suggestions?
