Why does the Start Menu open when I push escape in Windows 7?

Why does the Windows key seem to be reversed with the Escape key? This seems to randomly happen, and rebooting reverts their functionality.

What is happening that makes this happen, how can I prevent it from happening again, and how do I fix it when it does happen without rebooting?

I think Ctrl + Esc opens the Start Menu.

You probably have a problem with the Ctrl button, or you have some sort of "sticky buttons" option enabled in the accessibility preferences.

I think your Ctrl key was pressed for some reason. Ctrl+Esc brings up start menu on Windows.

After 9 years still occurs, and for me the solution was to try the combination: "Alt-GR"+"CTRL" of the right/left side.

Try restarting the computer. I faced the same problem and now the keyboard is working! Hope this helps you
