@Cowboymini Welcome to HP Community!
I understand you have wireless keyboard issues with your PC.
Don't worry I'll try to help you out.
Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?
Have you tried checking with a different set of batteries?
Have you tried checking with a different keyboard? Does the issue persist?
Have you tried connecting the USB receiver to different USB ports on your PC?
As you mentioned the wireless keyboard is not functioning correctly on one particular software.
Try reinstalling the application again and check if it works.
Try a few steps recommended below.
Restart the computer.
In Device Manager, uninstall and reinstall the keyboard software:
In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.
Click View and select Show Hidden Devices.
Click the arrow next to Keyboards, right-click the keyboard device name, then select Uninstall to remove the device from Windows.
Continue removing device names in the Keyboards category until all device names have been uninstalled.
Restart the notebook. Right-click Start (), select Shut down or sign out, then select Restart.
Wait for the computer to restart and open Windows.
Also, Re-synchronizing the keyboard and/or mouse causes the devices to reconnect to the receiver using new identification numbers.
NOTE:
You must complete the following connection sequence within 60 seconds. If you do not complete the sequence in 60 seconds, start over.
Disconnect the wireless receiver from the USB slot.
NOTE:
For some HP All-in-One and desktop PC products, the USB receiver is built into the computer. Check the service manual for the USB wireless receiver removal process.
Wait 10 seconds and push the receiver back into place, making sure to push it in as far as it will go. If the receiver has an LED indicator, the activity light on the receiver comes on and then goes off within five seconds.
NOTE:
If problems persist after resetting AND you have another wireless keyboard or mouse nearby, perform these steps again, holding down the keyboard or mouse sync button for ten seconds. Doing this might give the keyboard or mouse a new ID number in case the other keyboard or mouse was using the same number.
Refer to this article to further troubleshoot wireless keyboard issues with your PC.
Also, refer to this document to know more information about syncing the wireless keyboard and mouse to your PC.
If the issue still persists after trying out the steps. It is a hardware issue with the wireless keyboard.
