For Surface devices, the detachable keyboard relies on clean connector pins and firmware updates. If cleaning didn’t work, testing with another keyboard or checking for firmware/driver updates through Windows Update is recommended.

Go to Surface Support → Download drivers & firmware

Select your exact Surface Laptop model

Download the latest driver and Firmware compatible to your model.

Install → Restart

Shut down

Hold Volume Up + Power

Enter UEFI

If keyboard does NOT work in UEFI → likely hardware

If it works in UEFI → software/driver issue

If you are experiencing issues with updating Windows 11 and your keyboard is not connecting, here are some steps you can take:

1. Check for Hardware Issues: Ensure that your keyboard is functioning properly. If it's a USB keyboard, try connecting it to a different USB port or using a different keyboard to see if the issue persists.
2. Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE): If your keyboard is not working in the Windows Recovery Environment, this could be related to a known issue. This issue has been resolved in a recent update (KB5070773), so ensure that your system is updated to the latest version.
3. Retry the Update: If the update keeps saying "retry," it may help to restart your device and attempt the update again. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary issues.
4. Registry Changes: If you are comfortable with it, you can check the registry settings related to updates. However, be cautious as editing the registry incorrectly can cause system issues. Always back up the registry before making changes.
5. Check for Known Issues: Occasionally, specific updates may cause problems. Check the Microsoft support site for any known issues related to the current update you are trying to install.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to consider reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance.
