Try unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in.
Try and update your keyboard drivers, if possible try a different keyboard.

If it doesn't work after plugging it back in, Try "Restart" and reboot the computer.

I have the same issue. Tried all the youtube tips.. Also a reboot/restart or even a new WIndows configuration does not solve the problem

Do you have the correct keyboard layout selected?
Is this the numeric keys on along the top or the 10-key keys?

I am not sure what you mean, but this is the keybord:

In Windows these are the settings: VS/Dutch and QWERTY

I am so sorry, my problem is not the numeric keys, but both shift keys.

So no 10-keys. The numeric keys that are on the right of a full sided keyboard.

Do you have sticky keys accidentally enabled?
Press shift 5 times and say no, you should get a pop up

Also you can check if the shift key is being detected.
Press windows key + r
Type 'osk' (the on screen keyboard)
When you press the shift key it should light up on osk
