Hello, I'm an absolute novice when it comes to computers, and am in desperate need of knowledge I dont know that I dont know. When I'm typing in searches or on websites, my laptop works fine, but when I open games and try to move with wsad, my inputs stick (as in I keep walking left when I let go) or don't register (I'm standing still, press jump, and don't jump). I'm on an hp ryzen 3 on which ive replaced the ram with a single stick of 8gb, everything else is factory. Any advice would be appreciated, I have no clue what I'm doing.
 
check in Device Manager for any "unknown" or other flagged devices.
especially under the "Keyboards" & "Mice and other pointing devices" sections.

if any stand out you can attempt to update their drivers through their Properties selection,
you can uninstall them and hope they get auto-installed again correctly upon restart,
or you can search Dell's support page for your device for the specific drivers to install.

i would go with the latter.

do you have the latest drivers available from the manufacturer installed, specifically any updated USB drivers?
also make sure you have the latest BIOS offered. many times known hardware issues are corrected through these updates.

have you also asked for help from manufacturer support?
also check their forums. if it's a known issue usually fixes are posted.
