The keyboard is operating with limited capabilities within gaming applications.
Occasionally, my keyboard will fail to operate game controls using the letter keys, typically only those keys. Other functions like Tab or Enter usually work as expected. I'm wondering what might be causing this issue. My keyboard is an Insignia ns-pnk5001 model, connected directly to my motherboard.
Do you by chance possess a feline companion? I inquire because cats are capable of traversing keyboards and executing unusual Windows commands beyond the abilities of most people.
Have you attempted running in Safe Mode?
Consider performing a clean boot and observe if this alters the situation – be certain to carefully review the guidance, and crucially, do not disable any Microsoft services or Windows may fail to initialize correctly.

If a clean boot resolves the problem, it suggests that a startup program is likely responsible. You should systematically restart programs you’ve disabled over several restarts to pinpoint the culprit.
I observed discussion on Discord, though I was occupied at work when Anort brought me into the conversation.
Switching keyboards does not resolve the problem. Any method that generates the necessary key presses fails to function correctly. A test using a wireless keyboard connected to two computers demonstrated that the keystrokes were registered on one machine while playing a game, but not the other—however, they did work on both computers once the game was closed. This behavior is exclusive to video games, specifically affecting titles such as Skyrim, Warframe, and Dungeons & Dragons Online.
