Keyboard messes up every-time I press a number key and Windows 10 refuses to reset.

Hi, I could really use some help. My keyboard decided to go rogue lately, so whenever I press any number key 1-0 or arrow keys all letter keys break. I am then forced to hold down shift and press letter key until the keyboard starts typing again. If I hit any of the specified keys again the keyboard breaks again. I attempted to fix this with a system restore, but every attempted has failed and forces me to cancel it.

Try doing a clean boot and see if it fixes the number key thing - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

then run this and see if it finds anything:
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, DISM cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC
