Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,

I understand that your HP notebook keyboard is not working correctly, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• Did you make any changes to the settings of your PC prior to the issue?
• When was the last time it worked fine?

While you respond to that, let's try these steps: 

Hard Reset: Follow steps from the link: https://hp.care/2GnkMa8. (Refer to the removable and sealed battery)
BIOS default:(do not skip any troubleshooting steps even if you feel steps are repeating)

1. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
2. Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.
3. On the BIOS Setup screen, press F9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.
4. Press F10 to Save and    Exit.
5. Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?
6. Follow the prompts to restart your computer. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

It happened when I updated to windows 11 and the light of mute mic button still work after 3 or 4 days after the windows 11 update. Oh and today, I realised that the light of mute sound button don't work too

I checked everything and it is all up to date. Maybe the windows 11 update have made some drivers lose. And I will accept it, just wait for the new Windows 11 update to repair. Thanks for your help
