Hi,

Considering that the keyboard is working fine and since you told it is
working fine in bios. Check if you can login to Safe Mode. Press F8 after
the post test and beforeWindows starts. Once Windows starts loading,
you've missed it and will have to try again. Once you have logged in Safe
mode see if the keyboard works fine.
Go to control panel -> Open System -> select Hardware -> open device
manager and check if you have any conflicts on keyboard driver settings is
okay.
Think this should solve the issue.

Hope it helps!
