> The keyboard-escape-quit is bound to M-ESC ESC, however, in Windows 7, the "M-ESC" is captured by the system first. It makes the key binding nosense.

> I aslo tried ESC ESC ESC, and it reported that "<escape> ESC is undefined".

> Windows 7
> Emacs GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2018-06-30

FWIW, I don't see that for ESC ESC ESC in this build and Windows 7:
