It seems something in the operating system is remapping Alt-x to
<help-echo>, and it repeats it several times. Did you install some
program recently? are you using autohotkey or similar to remap keys
in windows? changed the language/keyboard settings for windows?
You can still get the Alt-x behavior (Meta-x in emacspeak) by pressing
ESC (release key) x
A kludge that might work is inserting this in .emacs
(global-set-key (read-kbd-macro "<help-echo>") 'execute-extended-comment)
or this, since it appears repeated 5 times for each Alt-x press:
(global-set-key (read-kbd-macro
"<help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo>")
'execute-extended-comment)
