Last Friday, my laptop started auto-typing the following keys

Page UP, 1 and 5 in the numpad, Left Bracket, Right Bracket, W, R, Y, U, I, F3, and F11

I tried some methods involving the software like uninstalling the driver and trying different OS but the problem still persists. So I'm pretty nearly sure that it isn't a software problem. It works fine on a USB/Bluetooth Keyboard, also I noticed that when I press one of the affected keys, the other affected keys gets pressed too.

Also, I would like to know if it's a keyboard or motherboard problem since it works fine when I use external keyboard. I currently disabled the internal keyboard and I'm using an external one.

Laptop Model: Asus Vivobook 15 X542UF

Sounds like there is either something in the keyboard (liquid, debris, etc.) or the keyboard is just going bad. If this is the case, it would need to be replaced.
