@Siddhu_3598, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If some keys on your HP Spectre x360 - 13-ap0904nz are not working, follow these troubleshooting steps:
Basic Checks
Restart your laptop and check if the issue persists.
Try an external keyboard to see if the issue is with the built-in keyboard or software-related.
Ensure that Sticky Keys, Filter Keys, and Toggle Keys are turned off:
Go to Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard → Turn off Sticky Keys, Filter Keys, and Toggle Keys.
Update/Reinstall Keyboard Driver
Update Keyboard Driver:
Right-click Start → Device Manager.
Expand Keyboards.
Right-click on Standard PS/2 Keyboard → Update driver → Search automatically.
Restart and check.
Reinstall Keyboard Driver:
In Device Manager, right-click Standard PS/2 Keyboard → Uninstall device.
Restart your laptop (Windows will reinstall the driver).
Check for Windows Updates
Go to Settings → Windows Update → Check for updates.
Run Keyboard Troubleshooter
Open Settings → System → Troubleshoot → Other troubleshooters.
Find Keyboard and click Run.
Perform a Hard Reset
Turn off the laptop.
Disconnect the power adapter.
Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
Reconnect the power and turn it on.
Check for Physical Damage
If the keys feel stuck or unresponsive, there could be dust or debris.
Try cleaning the keyboard using compressed air.
Test in BIOS
Restart the laptop and press F2 repeatedly to enter the BIOS.
Try typing in the BIOS screen.
If keys work in BIOS, the issue is likely software-related.
If keys do not work in BIOS, it’s likely a hardware issue.

If the issue started recently, you can restore your laptop to an earlier state:
Type "Restore" in Windows search → Open System Restore → Follow the prompts.
