Surface Type Cover Filter Device Missing
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 Type Cover Filter Device Surface Pro 4 User

- 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.
