Every Tool is Acting as the Move Tool

This page can help you.

[Wacom bug] Unable to paint in Photoshop anymore, every tool turned into the move tool.

Hi everyone,  make sure you submit your issue through the windows hub feedback app (hit start, type hub).  Upvote everyone else you see with the same issue in the hub.  I looked into this hub feedback app and Microsoft appears to use it to create heat maps for the engineer's to scan over.  Could help at least speed up the fix. =/

Friends:

The issue is Windows 10 update 3/22/2018—KB4089848.  Although dire, the situation is not hopeless; there are two (2) temporary work-arounds.  Regardless of which brand of input device one uses, here is the probable answer to this question:

     “Every tool acts like Move Tool, and latency: Intuos Pro”

I recently learned that there's a way to keep multiple versions of Photoshop CC on your computer. If you click the little arrow to the right of "Open" or "Update", then click on "Other Versions", the Creative Cloud app gives you the option to install older versions. One of my coworkers figured it out.

I was having this problem, and got fed up, so I uninstalled the most recent windows update from March 26th and it fixed the problem.
Good Luck Everyone!

Same issue here, just started following update/same build of Win10.  Photoshop 19.1.1.  In middle of a project so I hope someone gets on this asap!

Build 16299.334 Seems to be the problem since I updated to it , I have the same problem on my Surface Pro 2017

I am waiting for a Fix from Microsoft or Adobe.

First I'm telling you every tool is called section tool. Now I come to main point What other applications are running at the same time? If you get into this state, quit any other running applications one at a time and see if the problem goes away. Which operating system are you using it's help me give more answer.

Hi James.  Is this a full size Cintiq or a Cintiq Companion?  What are you using as a keyboard?  (Physical or on screen)

Check other applications that let you type with that same keyboard, and test all relevant keys.  Are you using a Bluetooth or wireless keyboard?  If yes, could other Bluetooth or wireless hardware be causing interference?   Definitely try a USB connected keyboard if you have, or can borrow one from another computer.

You mention resetting all tools, but not specifically Photoshop Preferences.  You should try this if you have done already.

I'm wondering about how you use the Cintiq.  Is it in addition to a computer monitor, or does it have Windows and Photoshop installed on it, like a Cintiq Companion 2?  If more than one screen, is the Photoshop main window on the Cintiq, or do you work with Arrange > New Window for ********.PSD or whatever document?   If something like that is going on, do you know for sure that the right window has focus?

I'm kind of throwing stuff out there, so the more you can tell us, the better our answers will be.

Good luck

Does this just happen in Photoshop or other apps too?

It sounds as though your Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) key is stuck down.
