There are 70 transactions related to this address since 2017, so it would be more easy to understand the issue if you'd post the ids or the links of the suspicious transactions instead. Anyway I guess you are referring to the last ones, well if the other addresses than the recipient address (bc1qw40vpr90585k0t4v46jj097p8e0mfayux26clt as I understand) are not change addresses, don't belong to your wallet and you've not entered them yourslef when making your sending transactions as Pay to Many adresses, then your wallet is necessarily corrupted or is a malicious version of Electrum.  

But then why is blockchair showing my balance as 0.039 instead of aprox 0.1…?
What do you mean bro? You've checked the extended public key (xpub key) of your wallet within blockchair, that's what you mean? Please bro try to be a bit clearer and more precise in your explanations. If yes, it is what it is. But fortunately it wouldn't be a so big loss up to now.

Edit: I see you've used Bitcoin Core  Huh What do you mean bro? You can't import the HD seed of a Bitcoin Core wallet into Electrum neither into most wallet AFAIK so what have you done precisely? You've just imported the private key of this address(1CChv6qepeypQYwkFshUKQ3RMcG5bPAydo)? If yes Electrum won't be able to know what are the change addresses related to your initial Bitcoin Core wallet belonging to this address. You need to check that into Bitcoin Core.

Only 2024 , 4 transactions.

This is the legit address .
The rest I don't know what they are.

I use original is not pirsted. I am a tech savvy person I'm 45, I love everything related to PC, I program also, that is why I am baffled how can this happen .

The only thing I can think of is maybe I downloaded a corrupted BTC core wallet but Im not a full to enter weird websites also eset would block the install or opening the exe or mb.

I never used electrum to make transactions, I always use but core since I'm familiar with that one being so old.

So can a fake Bitcoin core wallet behave in such way, to send the normal amount to the address you want and sent another random looking like amount to a different address once I wrote my pass to confirm sending it? Then show ín the wallet the original BTC amount minus the real transaction amount and not the fake amount treansacted ?

Seems pretty complex to behave in such a way.

I did t get how changes work tho but I will verify the addresses. I'm am very sad.
