Surface Type Cover Filter Device Hidden
Surface Type Cover Filter Device - Driver Download. Vendor: Microsoft. Product: Surface Type Cover Filter Device. Hardware Class: Keyboard. 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. FINALLY FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!!!!
