Hi
Since I updated my BIOS to the latest October (2025/10/07) release for my Asus ROG Strix G834JY, I'm having an issue with the keyboard. The problem occurs when I press the W key, after it the Esc and 2 keys intermittently fail to work; there is no response at all. Sometimes it responds if I press them repeatedly or hold down the W key while pressing them.
First, I thought it happened when I was in any game, but then I realized it's a system-wide problem.
The following things I already worked through and doesn't not change any behavior:
- Windows accessibility features, sticky keys, and filter keys are disabled.
- overlays are disabled. (Discord, Nvidia ..)
- reinstalled the keyboard drivers.
- reinstalled the keyboard firmware.
- FN is unlocked
- NumLock disabled
- All drivers, systemwide, are up to date
I really have no idea what to do to fix it, I'm thankful for any helpful input
