I had the same problems with my Microsoft Curve 3000 at the same time.
I already have the Curve 3000 since I had Windows 8. I never had problems with this keyborad I really like to use it (before I also had the 1000 and 2000).
I have Windows 10 since 31 July and had no problems. All of a sudden at that time it started.
I thought the keyboard was broken and bought a new 3000, but I had the same issues... So, money lost for no reason.

I have used months a very old keyboard (Trust SK-1689) and everything worked again.
Today I tried the Curve 3000 again and the problems are less after all this time and updates, but I still have after some time (the lenght of time changes after each reboot) problems, but not anymore as in November 2015. When typing, some 'actions' are happening: closing programs, files, deleting all text,... Also the start menu can't be opened anymore, clicking on programs don't open them and much more.
So, because of the Curve 3000 the mouse doesn't work good anymore too...

I don't get it: the Curve 3000 worked without any problems on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 and since November 2015 it gives a lot of issues. And this keyboard is a Microsoft product. What is the issue? A mistake in an update?

The suport ingeneer let us try do something, but it doesn't channge the problem!
And after all this time Microsoft didn't resolve the problem of their own keyboard with their Windows 10 yet....
I have here now 2 keyboards of Microsoft who are working on other versions of Windows (I tried it) and it worked with Windows 10 also, untill November. And I see I'm noth the only one with this problem.
Isn't it possible the engineers of Microsoft try this keyboard on Windows 10? They will see strange problems will happen after some time. Maybe they will find a sollution????

I have here now 2 Curve 3000, 1 not broken and one totally new one I bought and I can't use them and have to use an old keyboard, not from Microsoft, and it works. The 2 keyboards of Microsoft don't work on Microsoft Windows 10....

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series which is a loaner machine while my Inspiron 17" is being repaired. I have serious issues with Dell about the turnaround time frame. The issue with my computer as well as this loaner is a hardware based keyboard problem. At times the entire keyboard will not work other times it works partially. I have reset the machine, deleted the keyboard and Windows 10 then reinstalls the Windows 10 drivers. Has anyone with a Dell experienced these issues? Is this a Windows 10 issue or a Dell hardware issue? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.
