[SOLVED] Seemingly random keyboard keys also activate Function keys ?

When I press some keys a function key will activate too. This makes it nearly impossible to type (I'm having a hard time typing this out), and of course renders the keyboard useless. I've tried; reinstalling and updating firmware, factory resetting the device, switching computers, turning off sticky, toggle, and filter keys etc.

The issue stops when I disable the function key in the registry but I still want to use my Function keys of course. Here is a video showing what keys are being affected. This keyboard is TKL so it cant be numlock, and it isn't the "game" mode either.
If anyone has any idea what's going on I could really use your help :)

tried a different keyboard? what keyboard is it?

Try a clean boot and see if it changes anything - make sure to read instructions and make sure NOT to disable any Microsoft services or windows won't load right - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

if clean boot fixes it, it shows its likely a startup program. You should, over a number of startups. restart the programs you stopped to isolate the one that is to blame.

Thanks fir the reply! Sadly I reached out to HyperX tech support and it looks like its a hardware issue - I'm getting a replacement.

Thank you so much for the help though!
