For example, when I press 'p' on my keyboard, '0p' pops up in the search bar. And when I press 'backspace' ' \' pops up. Also when I type 'h', 'hy6' pops up. I have windows 10 hp laptop, I have tried troubleshooting for the keyboard but nothing showed up. I have also restarted my computer.

Sometimes this can also be a key combination that has been pressed to allow this to happen
The manual for this laptop is light on info.
Was this working one moment then changed whildt using it or did it happen after a restart?

I'm inclined to agree with James in post #5. It definitely sounds like a classic keyboard failure mode.
