Cannot Find Surface Type Cover Filter Device



Cannot find surface type cover filter device

  1. This sounds like I'm messing with you but. Connect and disconnect the type cover by pulling it away and then hovering the cover over the surface connector till they snap together. Do this fifteen times quickly and it causes the surface to reinstall the type cover drivers.
  2. I have tried doing a restart, hard restart, uninstalling the existing keyboard drivers and clicking on scan for hardware changes, but the surface type cover filter device doesn't come back.
  3. I opened device manager and i noticed the only keyboard category driver i have is the HID Keyboard. Looking in other threads on this issue, it seems i should have a driver for 'Surface Type Cover Filter Device' or for 'Surface Type Cover' Does anyone know where i can find the driver for the type cover 4?

Surface Type Cover Filter Device Pro 3

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’. Hmm, someone more knowledgeable may know why there's two on my SP3 running win 10 there's HID keyboard and Surface type cover filter device but I'm running a SP4 typecover now. If it were me I'd be tempted to try updating both drivers first, then if that didn't work I'd remove both then reattach the keyboard and reinstall.

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?
