Try refreshing your Keyboard Driver.
Winkey plus 'X' and choose Device Manager.
Find Keyboard and double click to find Update Driver.
If you don't see Keyboard, go to your PC manufacturer's Website and download drivers from there.

This was already tired.
To another suggestion - the drivers were un-installed and system restarted hoping that windows will install its own drivers while re booting. Here again only the Mouse worked. KB remained as such.
(The KB belongs to Logitech which is a KB-Mouse combo wireless).

Guessing any malfunction from the logitech softwares I took a PS2 mouse and a USB Keyboard.
Result was the same.

So another wired keyboard failed as well? Very strange. Could try checking your OS for errors.
First try System File Checker
Winkey plus 'X'
Choose Command Prompt (Admin)
Type sfc /scannow then Enter

It finds and fixes errors in Windows, but doesn't always report them. Run it and see if the fault disappears after re-booting your system
If corrupt files are found that can’t be fixed, try

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (Observe spaces before /)

Re-run SFC

To view CBS Log

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

Search C drive for sfcdetails.txt or navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and scroll down
