Just for ruling out hardware, you need to ensure that the keyboard is well-connected to the system and not to some switches or middle devices, which allow you to control several computers from a single keyboard.
Users who own setup like this one, it is possible that the problem with your Tab key is happening due to this switch device. Now, it is best to disconnect the keyboard from there and reconnect the same directly to your system. Check if the problem goes away or is still there! Sometimes, the problem with Tab key occurs not because of a hardware switch, but programs like Synergy.
It is a small application that enables users to share their keyboard and mouse with other systems through a network connection. Synergy is a pretty good application as it is free.
Plus, you do not require any hardware for sharing the mouse and keyboard. In addition to this, you could share it between a Linux, Windows, and Mac machine as they feature software for all of these operating systems. So, whatever be the reason, Synergy can stop the Tab key from working properly on Windows. If you are facing the same issue, uninstall this program and check if it starts to work again.
Based on their systems, users might have pressed several key combinations that disabled or enabled something on Windows, which causes your Tab key to function no more properly.
In that case, please try the following keyboard combinations one by one and examine if your Tab key starts to function after trying out each combination. If the above method does not work for you, try this one out. To be specific, the Xerox Job Tracker procedure is branded for causing problems with the Tab button. If you are facing this issue and have several Xerox printer drivers on your system, then it is best to uninstall your printers completely if you do not use them anymore.
Also, you need to get rid of other associated printer software. Hopefully, this will help you in eliminating the Tab key issue. After uninstalling this driver, you can reinstall the same. After this, you have to restart your system immediately and then let Windows install the keyboard again. Hopefully, you would not come across this Tab key issue anymore.
