I am using 3.34.beta4 at the moment and F5 refreshes the file list as it used to.

It's also working with v3.33.1 here. Do you have other tools installed, that might have captured the F5 key as a global shortcut?

Does F5 work in the Windows Explorer?
Or in your internet browser?

I tried and online keyboard test to see and it appears that it is not working. How can I fix this?

So F5 does not work at all?
If that is the case, then it looks like a keyboard failure.
Sometimes just the contacts are blocked, and removing the blocking bits solves the problem.
But it could also mean that you need a new keyboard.

On a laptop/notebook, Function keys such as F5 sometimes need to be pressed in combination with another key, such as Fn.
There are also switches that can be used to enable or disable such keys.
This depends on the manufacturer and model.
