  1. Keyboard not recognized when using dock


    I've been consistently having an issue dealing with using my Surface Studio laptop and using external keyboards with a docking station. When I connect to a dock I have my studio laptop will not accept any external keyboard inputs and I have to restart my device for it to register external inputs. I have run the device troubleshooter and I can even see the device under the "Bluetooth & devices" tab in settings. This problem has consistently happened on both my home surface dock and the universal dock I have at work. If anyone has a solution that doesnt require me restarting my computer eve

    Keyboard and Mouse not working with Surface Dock and Windows 10

    I have just upgraded to Windows 10 I on my Surface Pro 3 with a Surface Docking station. My Microsoft Sculpt mouse and Ergo Keyboard pair has a dongle that is connected to the ports in the dock. The computer will not recognize the mouse and keyboard.
    When I move the dongle directly to the Surface USB port, they are both recognized. This issue did not happen with Windows 8.1.

    I have tried deleting the drivers as well as the Mouse and Keyboard center and it did not work. Any suggestions?

    Dock function in the On-Screen Keyboard.

    Hello Andre,

    Thank you for posting you query on Microsoft Community Forums.

    The dock option in on-screen keyboard is by design and it is enabled only when you use a touch enabled computer. The dock option works similar to a window which maximizes and you cannot move the particular window around.



    When you click on dock option, it switch the on-screen keyboard from fixed to the bottom of the screen with full screen mode.

    I would suggest you to follow the methods given below and check.



    Method 1:

    Try to run a System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for any file corruption.
    SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files on the computer and repair them.

    • Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

      sfc /scannow
    If the issue still exists, try the next method.



    Method 2:

    You may check the same issue with the new user account.

    Try these steps to create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue. Refer to the steps below to create a new User Account:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Choose Accounts and then select Other User Accounts towards the left.
    • Select Add an Account.
    • Enter a user name and hit Next.
    • Click on Finish.
    • Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    • Check if issue persists.
    Hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if you need any further assistance, we'll be glad to assist you.
