    Laptop keeps deselecting/ESC every window


    My HP laptop seemed to have developed a mind of its own. Every time I try typing anywhere, or have any active window, my laptop deselects or clicks off of the window. I can not type into anything for more than 5 seconds before my laptop deselects off a text box. My laptop also:Won't let me watch any video in fullscreen. As if its pressing ESC every time.Won't let me type into the windows bar. WEIRDLY pressing the windows key makes the problem go away temporarily.Any program window asking permission to run/install is immediately cancelled. Making it almost IMPOSSIBLE to install drivers.Wi

    Window deselects when moved too quickly in Windows 10

    All of a sudden in Windows 10 if I move windows around too quickly on my desktop they will randomly deselect. I noticed this when I was moving files around to format a hard drive. Anyone else have this problem? It does not seem to matter if it is a windows explorer window or a program window.

    Thanks

    Laptop keeps deselecting/ESC every window

    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.
