Recently the top row of keys on my pavilion stopped working.
I've reinstalled the driver and updated it and done all the windows updates but no joy.
What could be the problem?

@Rex27 Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that the keys are not working.
What is the product number of your computer? (Ensure you don't share any personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc..).
Please perform the keyboard test let us know the result.
1. Power off the PC and make sure that it is completely powered off.
2. Press the power button and the moment you press the power button immediately start tapping F2 key, you should see the system diagnostics screen.
3. Look for the component test, under that all the hardware will be listed, please choose Keyboard and initiate the quick test.
Note: If it fails it will generate a 24 digits alphanumeric failure id, please capture that.
