  1. Keyboard function and ESC keys are not working on Windows 10


    Good Day,


    I am using Windows 10 Version: 1909 and OS build: 18363.900. All of sudden my keyboard keys like Esc, Num Lock, F23, F5, F6, F7, F9, F10 and F11. I don't know the cause behind this issue. The keyboard was checked by technician as there is no mechanical fault. I believe this is Windows 10 bug. Please help me to resolve this problem.


    Thanking you in advance.

    :)

    ESC key not responding (windows 10) (however shift+ESC works)

    I have a new install of windows 10 and have lost function of the esc key

    i can use the function of esc by using 'shift+ESC' however this is now what i want...

    how do i get my keyboards to work normally?

    I am trying to use Autocad 2017 and use the esc key frequently.

    I have reset drivers on two keyboards, a Logitech k375s and a Microsoft wired keyboard 600 and the problem is the same

  3. Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

    I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...

    Where is the esc key on the onscreen keyboard? [SOLVED]

    Doesn't one just love how useless these communities are? Microsoft, Google and then some could learn a great deal from companies like OnePlus that actually listen to their community. Anyway, here it goes. Again.

    The default onscreen keyboard in Windows 10 on tablets has no Esc, numpad (Del, End, etc.) or function (F1, F2, ...) keys. Also notice how one can't combine the Ctrl and shift keys.

    This question was already raised in 2012 (link 1 below). This is actually funny.. A "Volunteer Moderator" suggested to use the F11 key instead. Eventually a sensible user provided the OSK workaround. Mind that Win 10 was released in 2015. In
    that year it was raised again (link 2 below) and it was condescendingly "misunderstood" and eventually locked without any answer.

    Link 1: no esc key on onscreen keyboard

    Link 2: where is the esc key on the onscreen keyboard?

    When searching for "keyboard" in "Windows Settings", it reads "Search results aren't quite ready yet, but we're working on getting them together. Try back in a few minutes.". Can someone explain to me why Android is miles ahead in intuitivity and functionality?

    But guess what; there's a solution!

    • Open Windows Settings
    • Tap Devices
    • Tap Typing
    • Scroll down to Touch keyboard
    • Enable Add the standard keyboard layout as a touch keyboard option
    • Pull up the keyboard
    • Tap the input key bottom right
    • Tap the far right keyboard option (yes, the one that was disabled by default)
    You're welcome =)
