Windows 10: Some Keyboard Keys Suddenly not working

Hello



I have Windows Home 64 bit Version 1909 - HP Pavilion g series laptop.


Recently, some keys have not been working when I touch them lightly as I usually do. I have to long press them. I don't think it's a hardware issue because when I started typing this thread, I was struggling with my "k" , "I" and ",", but now I can type them easily without needing to long press them. So, this problem only sometimes happens , but not always. I tried uninstalling the keyboard driver and shutting down the device and removing the battery, but nothing worked.


My guess is it has to do with an update, but I hope there's someone here who knows a fix.


Thank you

:)

 

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...
