Windows 10: Some keyboard keys not working

I have a hp laptop and everything is fine with it. But one-day certain keys stopped working and I have had to use the on-screen keyboard which is quite inconvenient. The keys are : T, Y, Tab, F3, F6, F10, and Ctrl, and possibly others I have not discovered yet. The laptop has never fallen or received any trauma of any sort so I am completely lost on what may be wrong with it. I have tried troubleshooting the keyboard and even uninstalling the driver but nothing has worked. I am still unsure of whether it is a software or a hardware issue.

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...
