Since started using Windows 11 I'm constantly having problems with typing on keyboard. Randomly primary characters stops working (A-Z, 1-0, etc). Shortcuts are working, same I'm able to type special characters like ą, ę, etc. When I first noticed the problem I had to restart computer to get it back to work. Then I started troubleshooting the source of the issue - it is the Firefox. When keyboard stops working closing the Firefox solves the problem. Then I can open and use Firefox again till the problem happens again.

Is there any way what can be the source of the problem?

Try to enter about:config in the URL bar and change accessibility.force_disabled to 1 then restart.
