What is your exact model as each series is designed differently.

Hi @laminkanu
Try plugging in a USB keyboard and check if that works OK.
This is to prove whether the problem is in the laptop keyboard or in the OS.
Has the laptop gotten wet at all i.e. liquid spill on the keyboard?

I have also tried an external USB keyboard. But the Sam problem repeatedly happens.
Secondly I didn't spill liquid on the keyboard.

@laminkanu
Seems as though the problem is in the OS and not the keyboard.
What OS is installed, Win 7, 8.1, 10?
Is it always the same programs that open?
Have you checked that the programs can't be opened by keyboard shortcuts?
Either on the desktop (if the programs have icons there) or in the list of programs, right click on the program icon of a program that opens and click on Properties > select Shortcut tab and check that the "shortcut key" entry = none.
