Surface Pro 4 Jul 2017 Update - Type Cover not working

Anonymous

I updated the latest update Jul 2017 and it bricks my type cover completely. Tried everthing, from reset, volume + and power, everthing including cleaning etc. 

I just do not understand. When I did Apr 2017 update, it also half bricked it, but at least using volume+ and power helps, but now totally unusable. 

If anyone come across, this, please help.

    Hi Jimi,

    Some of our Community members tried to uninstall the security update KB4074588 (OS Build 16299.248) to make the issue go away. 

    Let us know if this works for you. We're here in case you need more help.

    Tried doing this, type cover still unrecognized.

    Probably should consider more practical solutions. What is a good bt kb solution that is portable for the surface,  or a better machine replacement for the sp4?

    The type cover stopped working after I remove the type cover and snap it back on.  This is really frustrating. It is affecting my work.
