Many Surface users are having issues with their keyboards. Their Surface keyboard or Type Cover isn’t responding properly or has become totally unresponsive.
This is a very annoying issue. And trying to fix it can be just as annoying, because you’ll spend a lot of time reading suggestions on the Internet, and most won’t work.
But don’t worry! The following are a few methods that have helped many other Surface users fix their keyboard.
Try these fixes:
You don’t need to try them all; just work your way down the list until you find the one that works for you.
- Reset your Surface
Method 1: Reboot your Surface
If your Surface keyboard doesn’t work, the first thing you should try is to restart your Surface:
1)Disconnect your keyboard
2) Restart your Surface
3) Reconnect your keyboard.
If this method works for you, you will be able to use your keyboard now.
Method 2: Perform a two button shutdown
There may be corruption issues with your tablet hardware that interfere with your keyboard, and a simple restart is not enough to get rid of them. You need to perform a two button shutdown or force a shutdown to turn off your tablet completely.
You can perform a two button shutdown only if you are using a Surface Pro and Surface Book. To do so:
1) Press and hold the power button on the edge of your device for around 30 seconds and then release it.
2) Press and hold the power button and the volume-up (+) button on the edge of your Surface at the same time for about 15 seconds and then release them. (Do NOT let go the buttons when the Surface logo pops up on the screen.)
3) Wait for about 10 seconds.
4) Power on your Surface. If this methods solves your problem, your keyboard will be recovered.
* For Surface 3, 2 or RT, you need to force a shutdown instead:
Press and hold the power button of your device and release it after 10 seconds. Then power on your device to see if this method works.
