Windows 10: PC opens calculator randomly

Hello, few months ago my PC was opening the calculator randomly, something that never happened and never happened again until today. I was feeling that it was a random bug, but today it was printing random stuff like "**ASDb" with my keyboard in input selectors like the youtube search. It also opened the "projection" menu and then it shutted down automatically. So, what can it be? Is it a malware? For now everything is normal, but I feel like I need to make a clean install to get rid of this.

If it is a built in Calculator I would suggest you to check if you can open and check the status.

  Press Windows + R keys.

  Type calc and hit Enter
  and check the status if its opening.
