Windows 10: Both alt keys and the windows key have swapped their function

I'm using a 75% Epomaker keyboard and I use the US English layout. A couple of hours ago my windows key just didn't work but instead the alt keys brought up the windows menu and vice versa. I have tried pretty much all fixes I could find reinstall drivers, Fn+A to toggle between mac and windows, change language settings, hold Fn+P. I also tried using a different keyboard but on that one the windows key and alt keys worked fine. The keyboard is relatively new had it for around 2 months but worked perfectly fine before. When I check the On-Screen Keyboard it also shows that the keys technica

Swapping keys

This problem seems almost bizarre. Since I installed a wireless mouse and re-paired my keyboard and mouse I've found that highlighting a single file within a folder and clicking ATL+A to select all the files in the list no longer works. Today I discovered that the function does work if I use CTL+A. At least the function works but it's awkward having to use a new combination of keys. It seems as though the functions normally assigned to the ALT key now works on the CONTROL key. Is there a way to change that? Can keys be reassigned functions within Windows 10 Home?

 

Swapping keys

@hsehestedt is correct.
If you WANT to remap keys though...you'll want to use SharpKeys.
SharpKeys has been around since the Windows XP days. The link below has a link to SharpKeys and a brief tutorial.
