Windows 10: Randomly Settings, Start, Connect and Microphone Thing Pops Out of My Screen While I'm Typing

First of all, sorry for my english. I'll try to explain myself. While I'm typing to anywhere, those 4 things pops out of my screen at the same time. Sometimes my computer shuts down or going to sleep. It happens only when im typing fast I guess . It started happening 3 days ago. I couldn't find any solution for this. I used virus protection programs for if there are any viruses around. I updated my drivers. I really have no idea what to do. I use original Windows.
