Check your keybindings and make sure that ESC is set for that action.

This sounds like a property of your operating system, not ESO. Either change the ESO keybind from escape or see if it’s possible to disable the action in your computer settings.

I googled this problem and found this:

Check for Stuck Keys
One of the most common causes of this issue is a stuck Alt key. Alt+Esc is a standard Windows shortcut that behaves similarly to Alt+Tab, cycling through open windows.

Yeah sounds like either the operating system or maybe keyboard software would be causing this behavior?

I mean eso doesn't have a keybind for swapping between programs.

Hmmm interesting I never even knew that about alt+esc... but on that note,

if the alt key isn't actually physically stuck or sticky, some keyboards have an "alt-lock" that behaves similarly to caps lock and makes it act like the alt key is always being pressed, so I'd make sure that isn't activated if applicable. Though if alt lock was on, that would probably be causing many other issues when using other programs as well.

Or also if using windows, the "sticky keys" feature (found under accessibility -> keyboard) can cause alt to remain in in the "pressed" state even when one is no longer physically pressing the key, so I'd check that sticky keys is not enabled as well.

Whatever is ends up being, it's not an ESO feature.
