    Help! ESC and ALT key switching windows and other problems!

    So this happened today, my ALT and ESC keys were switching windows. This was a problem to me because the game I was playing required ESC key.

    I've tried uninstalling the keyboard, restarting and a lot of things!

    Also, I can't tell if my Print Screen is jammed, the game I was playing uses that key for screenshotting. When I press 1 it just.. screenshots.

    Help! ESC and ALT key switching windows and other problems!

    I noticed that when some of these keys the following happens

    input -> output

    Esc / Alt > Esc, Alt

    Prt Scr / 1 > 1, Prt Scr

    ESC and ALT Key Both switching between Software

    Ctrl-Esc... Minimize Gaming Window - Win7

    ctrl+esc = Win/meta/super

    it's been around forever. back then my keyboard doesn't even have a Win key.

    there's also alt+esc, it's like alt+tab, but without the box switch, jumps directly to windows.
