Windows 10: Escape key performs a different fucntion

I'm using an Asus vivobook s15 laptop. While I was playing a movie, I tried to use the escape to go out from full screen mode I realized it actually stopped the movie instead. after further looking into it i found out the escape now acts as the letter "s" instead. Also I had earlier set my fn key on lock and cant unlock it because the esc key doesn't function. I've tried the Add new keyboard through language settings method but to no avail. Is there a way to restore the key back to normal.

How to test escape key?

I've been playing a game where I access the menu with the escape key, and it's not working. I can't think off the top of my head how else to test if the key is working or not.

 

Farmville2 Country escape keys

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand how frustrating this can be. As the order was completed successfully on Store, the problem is with adding keys to the game, which is an In-Game settings issue.



However, I suggest you to refer this article
Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store to run the troubleshooting steps and check with the issue. If you still face the same issue, then you have to get in touch with the

application developer.



Hope it helps.



Thanks,
