I have found the cause and solution on the Microsoft forum ironically, I don't pretend to understand the solution but even Apple support were unable to spot the issue.


In the accessabilty system settings menu select keyboard menu then the firsst item Full Keyboard Access should be turned OFF not on like the Apple support team insusted. I have turned that off and everything works perfectly again, I have lost. no keyboard functions and I have tried then all systematically
