    Some keys dont work.


    So A few weeks ago, the key numbers 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,0 Suddenly stop working. 5,6 and six work. I have been using a screen keyboard for those numbers recently. Now when I spam pressed 2, All the keys work again, but it recently stopped. Which means all number keys except 5,6 stopped working. I have restarted the PC multiple times, Trying to troubleshoot, update the computer, nothing has worked so far.
