Controlador Surface Type Cover Filter Device

The package provides the installation files for Microsoft Surface Type Cover Driver version 1.0.2.0. In order to manually update your driver, follow the steps below (the next steps): 1. Go to Device Manager (right click on My Computer, choose Manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel) 2. I have manually updated the HID Keyboard Device to both the 'Surface Type Cover Filter Device' and the 'Surface Touch Cover Filter Device' and neither worked. I'm out of ideas. I really need this for the last couple weeks of school and I can't type on the touch screen fast enough to keep in the class or let alone just type an essay I have due. I looked under keyboards in device manager and there is no surface cover type listed. There are four HID keyboard devices listed. I looked at their properties and none of them seemed relevant and they were all working properly. Booting up to the UEFI shows a Type Cover listed there; I disabled, rebooted, and enabled it with no result.

Symptoms:

  • 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’.
  7. Expand the firmware section within Device Manager. For each of the items shown, right click the item and select ‘Update Driver’. Click ‘Search automatically for updated driver software’ from the dialog that is shown:
    Note that if you’ve installed the latest Surface Pro 3 drivers, none of the firmware items shown are likely to be updated, but attempt to update each item. 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.
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.

  1. 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.
  2. I also tried going to Microsoft Download Center and re-installing the latest Surface Pro drivers software. No change.
  3. I also tried System Restore to go back to a system version from a couple days ago. No change.

Besides going to a Microsoft Store are there any other suggestions? Has anyone else had a Type Cover issue after a recent Windows Update?
