Sometime within the last 1-2 weeks my Surface Pro's type cover stopped working. Device Manager shows a failed 'type cover' device under Other Devices (with an exclamation point on it). I don't think it's a hardware issue because if I hold down Power and Volume Up to get into the UEFI screen then my Type Cover keyboard arrows work fine to navigate the menus.
Select the Surface Type Cover and open the properties for this device. Select the ‘Hardware’ tab on the dialog: In turn, select each of the device functions shown in the list and click the ‘Properties’ button: Click the ‘Change Settings’ button, then from the dialog that is shown select ‘Uninstall Device’. And finnaly i found my driver called: 'Surface Type Cover Filter Device' in device manager is NOT shown,that driver maybe erased and cannot detected even I update windows (I have Try).
- Per https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ubleshoot-your-surface-type-cover-or-keyboard I've tried uninstalling it and letting the driver re-install, but it just beeps continuously until I disconnect the type cover and then the Device Manager shows the same Other Devices failed device.
- I also tried going to Microsoft Download Center and re-installing the latest Surface Pro drivers software. No change.
- I also tried System Restore to go back to a system version from a couple days ago. No change.
