Sure sounds like you are having fun. Smiles. Reminds me of some party-game, kind of
Gues What You Will Hear Next Keystroke... Really not sure what to suggest, but have you tried to turn off all apps under Window-Eyes? I mean, just to start somewhere. My first idea would be, that maybe you have switched language settings in Windows itself, thereby having a different keyboard activated. But even so, you should be consistent in what you would hear every time you hit one specific key. From what I get you, this is not the case. So my next guess on a solution, would be for you to run whatever you can get hold of, when comes to well-reputed anti-ware. Things like anti-spy, anti-malware, and anti-virus. There might be a hostage of your computer, causing this. Let's hope not. Third thing to consider, would be the risk that something is running in the background. Does anyone but you use the computer? if so, probably they have something installed, like a game or something, which might play jokes on you. Or, do you know of any software that recently was installed, and which you could try to turn down for a moment, to see if it all fixes the issue. The next thing I have in mind, should have been the obvious thing. Yet, I for one, just overlooked that very soulution myself, just the other day. Have you tried restarting your computer? I mean, really restarting it. Turn it off, by letting it shut itself completely down, and then turning it back on from scratch. I stress this, since all I did was to put mine to sleep, or hibernating it; even restarting from the start menu, or what is named a warm-boot. It did not fix my issue,hence I ended up reporting something on the list that really was not a problem at the end of the day. Not until I gave the whole computer a real cold-boot, it would get fixed. Since you are on Win10, I am not familiar with the exact approach for a completely cold-boot. But others might chime in here. And after all, you might already have attempted such, which would result in me being out of ideas what could possibly be going on. Of course, a reset to a point a week or two ago, might bring your system into order. Use the Win10 equivalent of System Restore, and roll your system a few days back. But you might loose what you have been doing the last few days. And it will all depend on you remembering approximately when things started to misbehave. It's all mere guessing. Hope you get it fixed. BTW, does it happen in all programs, or only in certain windows? And does it happen even with NVDA or Narrator?
