Well I hope you like pulling stuffs apart!  I have a HP Envy 17 as well and its not to bad to take apart..
 Here is a copy of the maintenance and service manual (I couldn't find it on HP's site here)
Hp Envy 17 manual 

Looks like you will need this part# 603791-001 For use in the United States and Canada..

Page 61 starts to talk about how to remove the Keyboard.

If I were you I would remove the keyboard and inspect it, and clean any dirty spots with 90% Isopropyl Alcohol. then reinstall to see if I could fix it without buying a new keyboard..

Just a user like you!
Hope this helps!

Windows comes with an On-Screen Keyboard (Accessories >> Accessibility/Ease of Access >> On-Screen Keyboard) which highlights whatever modifier keys are being held down.
Or you can try PassMark KeyTest has a Trial..
Can you see if anything is stuck?
