i have a surface pro 3 with a type cover 4 (i got the surface pro4 type cover) running windows 10 and the type cover is no longer being recognized out of the blue.
I have tried many troubleshooting methods, but none have worked so far.
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?
Troubleshooting steps i already initiated and none of them have worked so far:
* unclicked and reclicked the keyboard many times, while connected to the internet
* did a two button shutdown/reboot
* brought the computer up to date on windows update, did reboots, shutdowns, nothing
* reset the laptop (while maintaining all data) and then installed windows updates again + some more reboots
* installed the latest 'SurfacePro3_Win10_10586_1702002_0.msi' drivers & firmware pack for surface pro3 from Download Surface Pro 3 from Official Microsoft Download Center
* *tried* to install the latest 'SurfacePro4_Win10_15063_1702001_0.msi' drivers & firmware pack for surface pro4 from Download Surface Pro 4 Drivers and Firmware from Official Microsoft Download Center but it did not work since i have the surface pro 3
i cannot get the driver to show up anymore, and given that i never uninstalled or deleted it, i don't know what else i can do.
I am traveling and don't have access to a microsoft store to purchase a new keyboard so i am stuck and i would appreciate any help in further troubleshooting or locating the proper driver for the keyboard.
thanks in advance!

Go into the Device-Manager and select manual driver update of the problematic device, then use the following path a source for the driverlocation: '%windir% WinSxS' After a few minutes the wizard installs a compatible HID-driver and the device works again. In the search box type device manager and select the Device Manager; In the results, click the arrow next to the Keyboards; Right-click on Surface Type Cover Filter Device option and then click on Uninstall Ok. Once done, restart your Surface. Connect it to the internet and it will automatically download and install the Surface Cover drivers.
This week there were Surface Pro 4 firmware updates as part of the Patch Tuesday updates. Afterthe system updates completed on my SP4, the type cover stopped working. The backlight didn’t workand the Surface didn’t recognise the keyboard being removed or plugged back in.
After reaching out to people here at Microsoft, I learned that you can make some internal systemswithin the Surface reset by holding down the power button and volume up button at the same time forabout 20 seconds. That reset got my keyboard working again.
