    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.

    Hi Luky,

    Thank you for posting your reply.

    I suggest you to perform a Startup Repair by following the steps below.

    • In the Lock screen, press/hold the shift key and click on power icon>restart.
    • Click on Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Repair and follow the prompts to start the Startup Repair.
    After the Startup Repair is complete, check for the status.


    Regards

    Try pressing the ESCAPE key repeatedly as soon as you switch on the PC.

    According to this support page:
    Access Denied

    The Startup Menu provides access to UEFI applications and to the BIOS. The applications include different options for notebook and desktop computers and tablets. Use the steps in the following sections to run these applications from the Startup Menu or from the hard drive.

    Opening the Startup Menu during system startup on computers
    Follow these steps to open the Startup menu when the computer is powered off.


    ** Turn on the computer.
    ** Immediately press the Escape key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup Menu opens.

    Hopefully that should get into some kind of setup where you can select the USB as the first bootable option.
