1.!Press the Windows key + X on your keyboard and select "Device Manager" from the menu.
2. In the Device Manager, click on the arrow next to "Keyboards" to expand the category.
3. Right-click on the standard keyboard device and select "Uninstall device".
4. Confirm the action if prompted.
5. Restart your laptop. Windows should automatically detect and reinstall the standard keyboard driver.

I hope this helps! Let me know what happens :)
