    Why does my computer keep "Escaping"?


    OS: Windows 10System: Dell Precision Workstation 5500The problem: When using my computer, my computer will click/Escape all by itself about once every 30 seconds.Ways to re-create the problem:1. While playing any game, the screen will flicker and I will lose movement almost like I tabbed out until I click on the game window.2. Using any drop down bar like Bing/Google predictive text my mouse will flicker and the drop down bar will roll up as if I clicked somewhere else.Things I've tried:Updating drivers / system softwareUnplugging mouse and keyboard problem persists even without them plug

    :)

    Escape key not working

    Hi,

    To better assist you regarding the escape key on your keyboard, please clarify the following:

    • Since when are you experiencing the issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Any recent changes made prior to the issue?

  4. Why does my computer keep "Escaping"?

    While scrolling down a very long list of files, the Scroll Bar will jump back at the beginning. Why?

    Since no one else has this problem, I'd try to eliminate what other programs are on your computer that could cause it. Use the Ctrl+Shift+Escape trick I mentioned above.

    If that doesn't work, my best suggestions would be the
