Type cover keyboard is not working only the damn touchpad. In device manager i have exclamation mark - unknown device and it was Surface Type cover filter device, however, i couldn't install a driver for it from a Device manager.
Sometimes install of the type cover filter device ends with error code 1 and sometimes it says it's installed (Tried manual and automatically from the internet), but in the device manager it still says Unknown and i am not able to use my type cover keyboard, besides touchpad.
MS totally screwed up my SPro2 with that update.
Any help would be appreciated!
10.6 8 combo update. Surface Type Cover Filter Device 1.1.504.0 enables support for new Surface Pro Type Cover and Surface Pro Signature Type Cover. Note: - When Surface updates are provided via the Windows Update service, they are delivered in stages to Surface customers. As a result, not. The type cover firmware death is a long time known issue, affecting thousands of Surface users. Seems that MS does not care at all about it. Best auto tagging app. I have a SP3 and a SP4, a type3 cover and a type4 one, there is no way to make them work in any combination. Tried everything and nothing helps. Yet another report of problems with the Microsoft Surface Pro 4. This time the symptoms involve a suddenly dead Type Cover, a missing driver — and no help from Microsoft.
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.
Surface Pro 3 Type Cover Filter Driver
- 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.
