    Surface Go 3 on-screen keyboard issue at Windows 11 sign-in


    I've got a Surface Go 3 and recently the on-screen keyboard just stops working temporarily at Windows 11 sign-in. After maybe 4-5 characters a pin shows on the right hand side of the characters like a selection pin and when I try to type it bounces. The only way to get around it is to pull up the keyboard from ease of access which works fine. After I get into Win 11 the normal on-screen keyboard works fine again.Anyone had this issue and know a fix? I did recently switch to installing preview builds of Win 11 but not sure if that caused the problem.

    :)

    MS Surface Keyboard Cover not recognized by MS Surface Pro 3

    My Surface Pro 3 cover mysteriously stopped working (other USB keyboards work).

    I’ve exhausted all of the steps from the Internet and am hoping for some advice here on what to try next.

    • Clean the metal pins on both the keyboard and the Surface Pro 3 with alcohol swap and q-tip.
    • Performed the standard two button shutdown procedure - Force a shutdown and restart your Surface
    • Update "HID keyboard" device in Device Manager.
    • Uninstall and reinstall "HID keyboard device" in Device Manager.
    • Removed HID keyboard device in Device Driver and manually installed Surface Type Cover device (which later automatically turns to "HID keyboard device" when you hit "update drivers")
    • Updated all Windows 10 patches to date.
    • Tried a brand new keyboard (Microsoft FMM-00001 Type Cover for Surface Pro https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073W4MPJF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
    • Updated firmware for Surface Pro 3 (typed in “winver”, took that Windows version, then downloaded the specific patch required here - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38826)
    • Reset Surface Pro 3 while keeping personal files
    • Reset Surface Pro 3 and deleted all personal files
    • Performed hardware tests on aka.ms/surfacerepair (nothing bad found; all looks ok)
    • Drained the battery most of the way before connecting again - the two times it worked momentarily these last few days was when I connected my new type cover keyboard to the Surface Pro 3 after the battery had died down to below 50%; a simple reboot later, everything stopped working. This user seems to have the same problem with it working briefly when there is low battery - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...pe-cover/52f983c6-2e53-49fa-aac6-7c4cc5d25d9f )

    A breakdown of the steps I've done to sometimes get it working


    Can anyone recommend any other troubleshooting steps? One of these steps seemed to work ok for others having this same problem.

    Hi ChrisWaters3,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Could you please help me with the below information:

    1. Does the battery drain out, if the tablet is not connected to peripherals?

    2. Which version of Windows you are using? (To check, type: winver in start menu and hit enter.)

    I understand how something like this can try your patience. This issue is an indication of faulty drivers or incompatible driver.
    However, I suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned below:

    Method 1: Check the drivers.

    Step1: Battery driver

    1. Press Windows andR
      key together on your Keyboard.
    2. Type devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
    3. Click on view on top > Select Show hidden devices.
    4. Expand the Batteries option from the list.
    5. Select the ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery> right click on the driver and click on
      Properties.
    6. Click on Driver tab > check if you have the option to
      Roll Back Driver.
    7. If yes, Roll back the driver or uninstall it and restart the computer.
    Uninstalling the driver will be automatically installed after the system is restarted. Check if the issue is fixed.

    Step 2: Keyboard driver.

    1. In the Device manager, go to ‘Other devices’, you will find
      Unknown devices.
    2. Double tap on the unknown device > click on
      Driver tab> click on update driver.
    3. Select browse my computer for driver software> Click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers
    4. Select keyboard, then click ‘Next.
    5. Select HID Keyboard device and click finish.

    Method 2: Run the toolkit.


    Note: If your Surface is managed by your work or school, check with your organization's IT department before running the tool.

    I would suggest you to run the toolkit provided by Microsoft on
    Fix common Surface
    problems using the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit


    If the above steps, doesn’t fix the issue. I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the article on
    Surface Pro 3 Battery
    FAQ for the Surface Pro Embedded Controller Firmware update
    .


    Hope it helps.

    Surface Go 3 on-screen keyboard issue at Windows 11 sign-in

    Issues with configuring keyboard while using pen: surface pro 3 + windows 10.

    Hi Sam,

    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.

    This issue might occur if pen settings is not configured properly.

    To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

    • When you say that "removing the handwriting pop up keyboard all together", are you referring of disabling handwriting keyboard?
    • When you say that "choice for making the keyboard resize the opened window", are you referring of resizing the opened window through keyboard?

    I suggest you to refer the suggestion provided in the Microsoft Help Article about configuring Pen settings in Surface pro 3 with Windows 10 and check if it helps.

    https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-gb/support/touch-mouse-and-search/surface-pen?os=windows-10


    If you want to resize a particular opened window using only the keyboard, then I recommend you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Press Alt Key + Space Bar Key to open the menu.

    2. Tap on Letter S key.

    3. A double-headed pointer will appear

    4. For making the window smaller, tap on the right arrow key to select the right edge of the window and then you can repeatedly tap on the left arrow to reduce the size of window.

    5. Then tap on Enter Key.

    Please get back to us with an update on issue in using pen on Windows 10, we will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
