Shift+R not working in windows 11

Question

I am using Windows 11 Pro. The Shift+R key is not working but when the Caps Lock is turned on, it works fine. I have already tried the solutions mentioned in Shift+S and Shift+R not working, but the problem still persists.
However, the Shift key works fine with all other keys except R. How can I solve this issue?

The Shift key is producing capitalized letters for all others except R. — Fahad, Jul 19 '23 at 14:17
What does it show for you when you press Shift+R on this website https://www.toptal.com/developers/keycode? — Yisroel Tech, Jul 19 '23 at 14:45
"It can only detect Shift, R is not working" the question wasn't if it is "working", the question is what the website shows when you hold Shift and press R? — Yisroel Tech, Jul 19 '23 at 18:04
Tried in safe mode also but didn't work. All other keys are capitalized except R when pressing the Shift key. — Fahad, Jul 20 '23 at 00:57

Use an external USB keyboard to prove that it is not a hardware issue. If it is, replacing a keyboard is often easy and inexpensive.
1.Do you use AutoHotkey, Clavier+ or similar keyboard macro app, which might be "stealing" the key press before the system sees it? Turn off the app to test. If that is the issue, remove ShiftR from the intercept list.
Do you use another keyboard layout that might use that key combo for diacritics? If so, switch layouts.

I have recently changed my previous keyboard for the same issue. Kindly note that, I am having the same issue with On Screen Keyboard. I am not using AutoHotkey or Clavier+ or any other keyboard macro app. My keyboard layout is QWERTY. Also note that, I can type capitalized R with Caps Lock turned on. – Fahad Jul 20 '23 at 04:45
Not just the physical layout, but the interpretation by the Windows layout software: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-keyboard-layout-windows-10 – DrMoishe Pippik Jul 20 '23 at 16:31
I have only one keyboard layout installed which is US QWERTY. – Fahad Jul 21 '23 at 00:51
