  • Following imaging with Windows 10 1903 using Configuration Manager OSD, the Type Cover doesn’t work at all (keyboard, trackpad).
  • When rebooting the machine, the keyboard and trackpad both work when in the BIOS.
  • When imaging the machine, both the keyboard and trackpad work in Windows PE.

The Surface Pro 3 was imaged and then patched up-to-date and the most recent Surface Pro 3 drivers available from Microsoft were applied, however the issue persisted.

To correct this issue, complete the following steps:

  1. Open Control Panel and navigate to ‘Hardware and Sound’ and then ‘Devices and Printers’.
  2. Select the Surface Type Cover and open the properties for this device. Select the ‘Hardware’ tab on the dialog:
  3. In turn, select each of the device functions shown in the list and click the ‘Properties’ button:
  4. Click the ‘Change Settings’ button, then from the dialog that is shown select ‘Uninstall Device’. If offered the option to delete the driver software for this device, ensure that the checkbox to do so is selected (not all devices offer this option) and click ‘Uninstall’:
  5. Ensure this has been completed for all device functions shown in the list, then close the main properties dialog.
  6. Open the Device Manager for the computer, right-click the computer name at the top and select ‘Scan for Hardware Changes’.

If you’ve not installed the latest drivers, the firmware list may have more generic titles which will be updated as the appropriate firmware is applied.
  8. Repeat the process of updating the driver for each item under the Keyboards section of the Device Manager. Note that even with the most recent driver pack installed, all of these entries on the device I was working on were the generic ‘HID Keyboard Device’. We don’t know which one of the keyboard devices listed is the Type Cover, however when you get to the correct one you’ll that the driver that is installed is listed as ‘Surface Type Cover Filter Device’:
  9. As soon as this driver is installed, the Type Cover should start working again. In my case no reboot was required.
Surface type cover filter device missing
As of this morning, my Type keyboard no longer seems to work... as in, I snap it on and it's seemingly not detected at all. I've tried multiple restarts and shutdowns without any change. Touch and pen still work which is how I'm making this post. I don't know if this is from yesterday's updates or a hardware failure. OneNote, which was working fine yesterday, also has a problem when launched where the touch keyboard pops up but quickly disappears and renders 2/3 of the screen vertically white and unusable until I shrink the window then maximize it.
Anyone else have a keyboard mysteriously stop working? Any ideas if that OneNote issue is related?
