'Backspace, delete, space etc. dont't work in Visual Studio 2010
I have a problem with visual Studio, i don't want use it but i have to.
The keys like delete, space etc. don't work and look at menu bar-> duplicated(few times) menu elements.

I know this has already been marked as answered, but the fix for me, every time this happens, is to simple press Ctrl+Tab while in Visual Studio. Some have stated that just changing tabs in VS will also fix it. Give that a try.
Note that I've never seen the menu duplication, but it does fix the keyboard not responding for several important keys like backspace, delete, arrows.

I attempted to reset the settings but that didn't work in my case. I'm using Visual Studio 2013. I wish I would have tried the 2nd answer to see if it worked but I restarted Visual Studio and that did the trick.

Caps lock 'on' in VS 2022 won't let you use del, delete, backspace.
Caps lock 'off' should be your first try. :)
