IIUC, gvim 8.2.1444 is the latest version.
Does it also happen if you type the following in a Dos Box?
gvim --clean -R filename.txt
where --clean (with two dashes) means "use only the default setup, as
set by defaults.vim; and -R (with only one dash) means "readonly".
If it doesn't, it could be your vimrc, or some third-party plugin, or
(if it exists) a "system vimrc" (whose exact directory and file names
are listed near the middle of the output of :version)
If it happens even in this controlled environment, I don't know what
it is; maybe Windows? I cannot reproduce the problem on Linux, but you
aren't the first one bitten by it on Windows.
Best regards,
Tony.
