Hi.

The last month, my surface keyboard (External bluetooth version), keeps loosing connection to my surface book 2, if i have been away from the office, or my Surface book 2 has been in standby..... (I have tried to change the batteries in the keyboard)

When it happens (Which is does many times a day), i have to delete the paired surface keyboard on the surface book.. wait about a minute, and the press the pair button on the keyboard, and pair it with my surface book again. Then i works undtil the nex time it has been in standby or i have been away from the office....    I have han the surface book and keyboard 7 months, and have never been a issue before a month ago.  (I have tried to run e driver update, and the bluetooth repair, nothing helps.

They funny thing is, that i have a business partner in another company with the same setup as mine, he told med that he has the same issue with keyboard as i have....   

Any ideas what our problem is, and are there other with the same issue???

    Unfortunately this does not seem to work for me!

    Thanks for the reply. What is especially annoying is that this keyboard is to replace an earlier model MS bluetooth keyboard. It connected with no problems whatsoever, but literally fell apart! So I went into this with really positive feelings about MS keyboards and this new thing has completely eradicated that. MS are back to being the models for corporate greed and lack of interest in customer experience. Bunch of twats really. #microsoft #poorcustomersupport

    Good question. I think they probably care more about their big sellers than this stupid keyboard. By the way I had send out a complaint about it some months ago....and never heard anything more about it. So also the aftersales service sucks :-( My solution was a new keyboard from Logic (MX Keys) and I did not regret that solution at all! Hope you find the right solution too! Bye bye Regards, Boudewijn

    I have the same issue, but I am connecting to my desktop computer/ PC via a bluetooth dongle. The Precision mouse does not lose connectivity, but the keyboard does, after a few minutes of inactivity. Then I have to go to settings, remove it and re-install it. It is very, very irritating and costs me a lot of time.

    I tried both of the above, The former did not work because the Power Management tab did not show up. I tried the second approach, through Device Manager, did find the power management tab, made the changes, but to no effect.
