Windows 10: Hotkeys.

Now I am the kind of person that tries to delay updates as much as possible because of things like this. But the latest one changed the start key view, as well as a search bar, and now every other time when I press escape witch I use at least 200 times a day, it throws me out to desktop and opens the start menu.

It's not always even control or shift + escape, sometimes it just escape.


Tried to switch off all windows hotkeys through registry, did absolutely nothing, all other hotkeys work as well.......

By doing a personal search I found that a lot of people use 3 party programs to fix this issue, is that the only solution?
