ESC (escape) key not working!

My escape key is not working. And yes it is an escape "key" and its not on the touch bar, its an actual button. Mac OS Big Sur 2020 MacBook Pro INTEL not M1.


Command+Option+Escape doesn't work either for force quit.


Thanks!

MacBook

What are you wanting it to do..(?)


Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379



I can confirm the Command+Option+Escape opens the Force Quit dialog..


How about from the ïŁż>Force Quit does this work as expected?
