Escape key on Windows 10 tablet without keyboard?
I just purchased a Windows 10 Fusion5 tablet that does not have a keyboard. I'm using a teleprompter app that goes to full screen mode for use. Now I can't find any way to go back to the app home screen with all the controls. On a tablet I'd use the escape key. I can bring up the virtual keyboard, but there is no escape key on it. Anyone know any secret way to escape in a full screen app like this?

Swipe from the bottom or top to open the Task View. Find the app window and swipe it away to force close. Or, open Settings > Apps > Apps & features, select the app, and choose Force stop.

Many apps and Windows itself respond to this gesture by minimizing or bringing up the task switcher.
