My keyboard since last windows 10 update has made the 'o' , 'backspace' and 'right arrow key only work for 10 minutes after a reboot. I am using onscreen keyboard to type this and since reinstalling drivers, running 2 antivirus scans and blowing out keyboard with compressed air did not work. Saw others threads, but since it has not been a replacement keyboard.

Update- Found just logging off resets time till keyboard key stop working

Try this in order to figure if the problem is HW or software/os:
Get to download an Linux live-cd (ISO file). Most distros will work, Ubuntu or Mint should be good ones. Make this into a bootable CD/DVD/USB-stick and boot up your laptop with this.

If the Linux distro runs for an extended period of time without kayboard problems, there is something about Windows or device drivers that doesn't work. Otherwise it must be the keyboard itself that need to be replaced.
