    Most likely a keyboard issue.
    You can boot Ubuntu from USB-stick and check it if you want.

    I'm not quite aware of using Ubuntu, is there any other way?

    You don't have to be an expert. Follow instructions to create a bootable USB drive and boot computer from USB.
    If you want to confirm it's not a system issue it stands to reason you should check what happens if you run a different OS.
