Photoshop CS6 is not responding with my Yiynova Tablet on windows 10

I know this problem has been resolved with Photoshop CC but I'm using an older version (CS6) and ever since the update to Windows 10 I've been having issues with Photoshop not working with my tablet (Yiynova mvp22u). The tablet works just fine but doesn't draw in photoshop. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling adobe PS and downloading the newest drivers. If anyone can help I would very much appreciate it.

Is your tablet configured to not use windows INK  APIs with Photoshop CS6 to use WinTab APIs instead.  Your Tablet driver will most likely default to using Windows INK API for Pen support on Windows 10.  Prior Windows version did not have pen support and your tablet most likely install WinTab APIs for pen support.   New Creative Cloud Photoshop version default to using Windows INK APIs on Windows 10.   Old Photoshop versions like CS6 only  use WinTab API for pen support.

WinTab is not a trick its What CS6 uses for Pen support.  CS6 does not have support for Windows INK.   When the Op upgraded to Windows 10 and installed the tablet driver the tablet driver would most likely use Windows 10 INK API for pen support not use WinTab API that it would add to older version of windows OS. Prior windows version did not have any pen support.  Hopefully the driver will have such an option for use with Applications that do not have INK support like old versions of Photoshop. Wacom device drivers do. You uncheck Use Windows INK for pen mapping for Application like old Photoshop if you use them.  If you use both old and new Photoshop you have to also Add PSUserConfif.txt to new Photoshop version preferences folders so  new Photoshop versions will use WinTab API and not use their default INK APIs.
