Touchpad stops working on the Pro 4 type cover

[Moonsurface]

I've had it happen a couple of times too also SP4 cover on SP3 Like right now the trackpad is working but the two finger scroll no longer works.
After I wrote that I clicked the keyboard back on again and it's working fine now!

Hardware or software I didn't do much sleeping the touchscreen, pen, and sometimes the touchpad too would just all of a sudden stop working in mid stroke. Had to reboot to get them back.

Moon , thats exactly what I get. Sometimes the touch will work but 2 finger scrolling wont work. Only way to get it back is reboot the machine. ANNOYING! Shouldnt be happening on a $170cdn keyboard!

My guess is its a compatibility issue wit hthe Pro 4 cover on the Pro 3 cause i never had this happen on my Pro 3 cover.

Grey, so is that why you went back to the SP 3 with Pro 4 cover?

So sounds like to me theres no point in exchanging the Pro 4 cover.

That was part of it but I got blue screens too and Audio popping and display driver crashes. I Reset one of them 4 times and it blue screened during setup two of the four times. A blue screen during setup is never good and always fatal. That was the final straw. On the other one, part of the touchscreen went permanently unresponsive.

I might get another one in six months but if it so much as hiccups during the 30 days it's getting returned.

Mine seems to only happen after sleeping, not mid use.

This is why MS h/w is so underwhelming. I dont know who the heck they are hiring to manufacturer these things, but they have as good quality control as a donut factory does.

When I got my SP3 a year ago, I went through 3 of them and 4 or 5 keyboards. I went through so many I dont even remember what the problems were but it was just stupid making so many trips back to the store.

Same. If it happened mid use, I would have trashed this piece of garbage cover long ago.
