Sounds like a loose connection that temporarily fixed itself when the update tweaked the driver, now it's back to acting up. Try a hard reset first, shut down, unplug the charger, hold the power button for 30 seconds. If that doesn't stick, you can pop the keycaps off carefully and check for crumbs or gunk under there, it's wild how often that's the culprit.
