Recently, when I play a certain game, using F7 without holding Control or Shift feels awkward. Outside the game it works as expected, but only when I start that specific game. Pressing F7 alone doesn’t trigger it, and all other keys (F1-F12) function normally. I attempted to remove the game and its files, tried deleting the keyboard drivers (including Windows keyboard drivers since my keyboard isn’t brand-specific), but the issue persists. The only alternative I considered was reinstalling Windows, though I’m hesitant because I have around two terabytes of games and programs to reinstall.

This appears to be a special keyboard with unique function keys, especially the F7 key which lacks typical functionality. It seems designed for advanced control features.

I didn't locate a genuine resolution for my issue, but I only used a restore point to address it.
