Windows 10: Keyboard Typing Multiple Keys After Gaming

After playing a game for about 15 minutes, my laptop keyboard started behaving erratically. Pressing a single key would trigger multiple unintended inputs or random system actions like opening Windows Search, File Explorer, or the Feedback Hub.I tried various troubleshooting steps, including restarting my laptop, reinstalling keyboard drivers, and disabling Sticky Keys, but the issue persisted. I also noticed that certain keys produced unexpected outputs—for example, pressing 'W' resulted in 'w]\k,8nhy6jm7', and pressing 'Q' produced 'QDC3'.Strangely, the problem only stops about five minutes

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...

Keyboard Keys sometimes take multiple presses to type, or sometimes type itself multiple times

So, this has started happening a few months ago, some keys, mostly R, W, Shift, CTRL and i would take multiple presses to type, or would sometimes write multiple times, like: "WWWhats up?" the keys problem got fixed when i got an external keyboard, but some buttons like CTRL and Shift still need multiple presses to actually press, like 2 or 3, and its annoying because most games require those keys and its hard to actually use. I've tried multiple fixes, and none work. I think it might just be a hardware issue.
