Uh oh...Jon, looks like you downloaded the new keyboard voice recognition and inflection update! It's Microsoft’s feeble attempt that allows us to feel as if we can control the keyboard, but in reality, they are still…pushing our buttons! lol
I seem to have downloaded an even newer, yet slower version of the last frustrating update that you just posted! This windows update includes hidden keyboard "mystery" buttons! Apparently, although I don't type that fast, as I pick up speed while typing, there appears to be a "mystery" sequence of finger drag keystrokes that not only erases everything I painstakingly just wrote, but it actually bumps me off the webpage completely! This is their effort to ensure that there is no way to recover on-line, what was just almost typed to completion! And yet it also ensures the webpage ads will have more time to be clicked on during utter disbelief, quickly turning into distress, and finally keyboard rage attempts to find your missing notes!
Plus, this newest update immediately activates a remote user memory erase function to further ensure that what was just typed and then poof, magically disappeared....may not be as easily remembered by the user! And this also allows the user to sit even longer at the computer while hypnotically glaring at the blank typing space in front of their tired eyes as dancing web ads float across the screen!
And that's when your computer pops up a small box in the middle of your screen with some "recovery" suggestions for you to hit the keyboard button in the picture above...which then causes your computer to begin a four hour long download of yet another new windows update!
