How do I fix my laptop keyboard not working on windows 11? It just randomly stopped working a few months ago but usb keyboards work fine any solutions? I dont think its hardware related as the combination for changing/switching the led backlight works completely fine but nothing else does. I dont know if Im in the right place this is my first time here.

This is very late, but this may be helpful for whoever stumbles upon a problem like this if your keyboard works fine in uefi/bios but doesn't in windows.
Settings > System > Recovery > Advanced startup (restart now)
When you get to the startup screen, you might notice your track pad and keyboard working again!
Just click continue to windows 11 from there and see if it stays like that. It has worked for me.
Exactly my sentiments, how is one to type if the keyboard isn't working?

You can scan you whole system by MRT (Malicious Software Removal Tool)
To use this you have to press a shortcut key which is win+r and then run box will be open you simply type MRT in the run box and that's it you have to choose a full scan may be it takes time and you problem can be fix
