Open some other program that also has a menu. Like maybe a text editor. Does that also act like that when you're typing?
Is your 'Alt' key stuck? That would bring up menus during typing. If I was experiencing that problem, I would carefully press and release each 'alt' key, noting whether it seems mechanically OK. After pressing 'alt' I need to click once on my text to take the focus away from the menu or I bring up menu while typing. Next I would unplug the keyboard from the usb then plug it back in. If it is a wireless keyboard I would also replace its batteries, as I get random weird operation with a low battery in my cheap keyboard. I would reboot the pc, and try swapping keyboards with another pc to confirm whether the problem stays with the keyboard or the pc.
