The Ink option make may pen slow an lagging,  win10 sometimes shows annoying ripples and circles , I had trembling cursors  etc.     Get rid of ink years ago and never had an issue.  So not sure why Photoshop  needs it really .   I recall there were some hack to make it work with  older option.  But I can't recollect what it was .  Would be appreciated if anyone know and could tell.

@kirkr5689 The "hack" you're thinking of is likely forcing Photoshop to use the older, more reliable WinTab API instead of Windows Ink. Many artists swear by this method to get back to a smooth, responsive drawing experience.
