Things to try:
1-If USB keyboard, try plugging it into different ports
2-PS/2 connected keyboards are not hot-pluggable. Never plug or unplug while
powered up, else risk damaging the motherboard port.
3-try a different keyboard
4-try resetting the BIOS
5-Most PC's BIOS for USB has legacy support that can be turned off. Check yours
&
try changing the setting.
6-Try contact cleaner on plug and receptacle
7-Try a full BIOS reset
8-Install BIOS upgrade if available
9-Does the problem remain no matter what session type, whether X11 or Wayland,
whether Gnome or Plasma or XFCE or IceWM or a simple WM?
