My keyboard left alt is acting like my windows key and vice versa. I need to know how to fix it because I play rust and using Left Alt is a MUST.

Work with the laptop first.

What I find odd is that the two keys (WIN and Left Alt) seem to have "changed places".

I am still wondering about some accidental mis-configuraton via the fn key and another key.

Try the keyboard on the laptop.

If the problem follows the keyboard, then try again on the Chrome - determine if the problem remains.

What setting did you apply?

Did you try reinstalling the driver?

Also - late thought:

Use "WIN" + "I" to access the Settings screen.

Check both "Gaming" and "Ease of Access" for any existing shortcuts. There may be a conflict there.
My keyboard has a shortcut with FN+SPACE for 5 seconds and resets everything on the keyboard. And I'm gonna reinstall driver now.

When I go to device manager on this PC it shows 3 keyboards but all are named HID Keyboard and not my keyboard model. I can try plugging into the laptop in a few. Would there be a way to plug it in on my school chromebook and still have the same results.
Also I think its worth noting that I did spill some liquid on the keyboard a few days ago but everything is working perfect besides the one key which would be odd for just one to not work after an event like that.
