Disable brush pop up menu with wacom tablet

I want to know how to turn off the brush pop up menu when you hold the wacom pen on the canvas for a couple seconds. this makes drawing a circle impossible as it creates a small straight line first because the program is thinking if i want this menu to pop up or not. I have tried disabling it in my wacom preferences with no success, I have done this in painter so im pretty sure its possible, its driving me crazy. thanks -----------------------------------

Hello ive had this problem,  and i was reading this and still couldnt figure it out. Im using a cinque 21 screen first gen, windows 8.1. Airbrush and pen after reading though i saw one post and got the jist from that....so heres what i done.

Goto the start screen and search for "pen and touch" goto that. Then click on "press and hold" the settings will light up, goto that and unclick the "enable press and hold for right-clicking" have a play on the little light bulb. Press OK, then APPLY then OK. Hopefully its all good.

Why you cant disable it in CC photoshop i dont know it be easier if you could. Who wants a pop up of your brushes all the time it makes no sence especially when most people are now using wacom cinque screens to work from its nothing but a pain and slows you right down plus i found the pen or airbrush wont pull a line till i touched twice on the screen ... so adobe needs to sort this out.

Just to set the record straight, Pepsi29 's is the correct solution if you wish to keep your tablet's pressure sensitivity. I have also used Pepsi29​suggestion since I can always turn off the pressure sensitivity within the application.

What about Windows10?  There is no press and hold right click setting.
