Windows 10: Surface Pro 5 no wifi and bluetooth drivers, with only one 512gb ssd visible

So I bought a used bricked surface pro 5 max spec'd from a previous now angry microsoft surface lover who had their surface bricked on them from an update. By spending ~8hrs I found a solution and installed ubuntu to clear the drive since windows partition could not. However, it only picked up 512gb of the 2 512gb drives during the partitioning for ubuntu. I continued with the single drive, however once I did get windows running on it the second 512gb drive disappeared, there was only a single 512gb drive as the other had a "failed to start code 10 error".

So, windows does run, however only on a single drive and the wifi/bluetooth card found in the surface pro wasn't shown in device manager or hidden devices. I had to use the included dock in the purchase to link it to my pc to share ethernet, however even installing the drivers on microsoft's website didn't work and I can't seem to flash the recover image onto the surface because it says the file isn't supported by my hardware even though it is. I tried a bunch of cmd commands, uefi switching off and on the things, however windows' trouble shooter for wifi doesn't seem to pick up the driver used, or so it said after running the driver.


I'm looking for a solution to fix the 512gb nvme ssd controller problem as in the surface pro, it doesn't want to start it. Following that, I'm also looking for a solution to help me with enablingwifi/bluetooth on the surface pro.


I bought this super cheap off them and it included everything dock, pen, keyboard cover, mouse and some cables they had, I bought it because I really need a portable device for school due to situation in the world and my classes are both in person and online. I used to use my 6 pound gaming laptop, however it's hard to carry for me to and from school. Anyways I love how the surfaces look and how it acts like an ipad but running my favourite OS.

If you have any solutions, please tell me as I'm desperate for something to fix it.

Surface Pro 2 loses wifi and Bluetooth drivers after updates.

Product: Microsoft Surface Pro 2 - Windows 10

Problem: Every time the surface updates it loses WiFi and Bluetooth drivers.

*I am met with the network icon for an unplugged cat 5 connection, not the WiFi connection icon in the bottom right corner. No WiFi settings are listed anywhere on the machine, as if the device doesn't have WiFi capabilities.

*Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not work after updates. Also no Bluetooth settings are found on the machine, as if the machine does not offer Bluetooth capabilities.

*Lastly, the Microsoft Keyboard cover does not work after updates.

Current Status: Reset PC, did full reset.

PC reverts to Windows 8.

WiFi, Bluetooth and Cover keyboard works.

After windows does update, WiFi, Bluetooth and Cover no longer work.

This has been going on since I first GOT this device. I'm tired of manually installing drivers after every update. And now I'm stuck on windows 8 again?

Please advise how to stop updates from deleting my WiFi and Bluetooth as well as get my device back to windows 10

WiFi and Bluetooth problems after Windows 10 update on Surface Pro 3

I just upgraded to Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 3. Neither WiFi nor Bluetooth works. It seems as though the drivers are somehow missing. Any suggestions?
