Windows 10: Specific Keys on Keyboard are not working

For the last few days my ctrl, fn, alt, and shift keys have not been working, and now my Windows key is also not working. My onscreen keyboard works fine, I have tried uninstalling my most recent update and reinstalling my keyboard drivers, but nothing has worked. For a brief moment after uninstalling the recent update, they were working again but then they stopped working. I am using an HP EliteBook x360 1030 G4, on Microsoft Windows 11Pro.Is there anything else I can do or do I need to take my laptop to a repair shop?

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...
