I don't know what's going on, but on my primary computer my text is always fine, but occasionally my secondary computer just generates random letters from keystrokes
k7dth8skwzqfippi9qfyi2sstbkv866zw60uc4olauugkjcfkjsub70ucv37z5s8dbnyvv9r6p35bg4srp04cw8sgeg7 <- I just held down a single letter on the keyboard and copy-pasted it back. I don't know what's up? I don't know why it does it and why it's only transient.
Hello,
I have forwarded your report to the Stardock support team for their review and recommendations.
Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates.
We really do appreciate your feedback, thanks.
It appears that the issue starts whenever chrome is focused on the primary PC. It also happens with edge.
If the focused browser on the Primary is an in-private \ incognito window, does it still happen?

Yes
This is caused by your av package.
There will be an option to deliberately make keyboard input gibberish to stop capture of passwords etc from webbrowers.
Great, found the setting and disabled it - thanks for your help!
This was awesome to learn. Is the setting inside of Chrome or is it an anti-virus thing?
It would be on a PC level and something in whatever AV \ Malware app you use. Likely named something mentioning 'Key logging'
I use the latest version of Eset Internet security and this fix works on two windows 11 computers but you have to change the setting on both computers for it to work.
Thank you so much for posting this JohnDory - I had the exact same problem (also using Eset) and would have never figured this out. Much appreciated!!
in case you've just changed to Eset Internet Security, this setting can be seen below
