    You can take it off to check for dirt underneath but it might just be broken.

    What happens when you press it? Does it go down fully and normally?

    Probably just gone so. Same as my windows key on my laptop, took it off to have a look.

    The connection is probably just gone and you need a new keyboard (under 100 euro for most types). They aren't that expensive and easy to replace.

    I'm lucky in that ctrl + escape is the windows key anyway so I can get by without it. You might be able to find software to map another key to be tab. You'd lost another key obviously but if you have on you don't use (I suggest insert) then you won't be missing anything and it will just take some getting used to.

    Or you can use the on screen keyboard built into windows when you need to tab.

    This might help haven't looked into it:
