Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 and Surface Pro 4 computers / tablets are amazing devices but they're actually plagued with a variety of bugs that never seem to get fixed.
One of those annoying problems is that the type cover and touch cover keyboards that magnetically snap onto the surface don't always work. This has been a problem since the Surface Pro 3 and 4 came out and happens with Windows 8.x as well as Windows 10.
If you're having trouble getting your keyboard to work on a Surface Pro 3 / 4 then follow our simple solution that should fix your problems.
Step 1: Power down your Surface Pro.
Step 2: Press and keep hold the Volume Up button.
Step 3: While still holding Volume Up, press and hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds.
Step 4: If your Surface Pro hasn't booted up, press the Power button (and release) to turn it back on.
Step 5: You should now be in the Surface Pro BIOS screen. Press ESC to exist and choose YES to quit without saving. Your Surface Pro will now boot into Windows as usual. Your keyboard should now be working.
Note that this is not a permanent fix and your keyboard may stop working again, especially if you remove it and dock the Surface Pro. It's sort of a random bug that comes up from time to time so bookmark this page on your phone so the easy fix is always handy.
