Could you please help me with the exact model name or the product number and the operating system of the computer?
And please send an image of the keyboard?
Keep me posted.

Did you try with an alternate keyboard?
If pressing a key once types two or more characters, adjust the key repeat delay.
-
In Windows, search for and open keyboard to open Keyboard Properties.
-
Drag the Repeat delay slider to Long, click Apply, and then click OK.
The keyboard should now work as expected.
Refer to this link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03738933 for Keyboard Troubleshooting.
Keep me posted, how it goes!
