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.

Can't type because keyboard isn't working so this solution is not useful.
Turn on the On-screen keyboard. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-the-on-screen-keyboard-osk-to-type-ecbb5e08-5b4e-d8c8-f794-81dbf896267
or connect a USB keyboard.

I can’t do that without a keyboard.
Connect a USB keyboard.

There's a possibility that you might have enabled Filter Keys. I accidentally enabled it and my keyboard stopped working entirely so make sure that is disabled.
Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard > Filter Keys
