    Windows switches screens by itself as if Alt+Esc were pressed


    Hello Widows community,

    Your advice would be appreciated with how to resolve this issue,

    Lenovo and Windows updates were all done, also in device manger mouse and visual drivers were updated,

    What else can be done to resolve Windows switches screens by itself as if Alt+Esc were pressed every 30-60 minutes?


    Thanks for your kind assistance

    :)

    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.

    Help! ESC and ALT key switching windows and other problems!

    So this happened today, my ALT and ESC keys were switching windows. This was a problem to me because the game I was playing required ESC key.

    I've tried uninstalling the keyboard, restarting and a lot of things!

    Also, I can't tell if my Print Screen is jammed, the game I was playing uses that key for screenshotting. When I press 1 it just.. screenshots.

    Windows switches screens by itself as if Alt+Esc were pressed

    Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

    The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.
