Stylus Pen not working in Photohop

Hi

I use an HP Envy x360 laptop with a touchscreen. I recently purchased a Digiroot stylus pen to use for drawing in PS. I had not used a pen previously, relying on my mouse. 

I am on the latest versions of both Windows 10 and V24.0 of PS. 

The pen works as a mouse on all applications, including PS, for selecting menu options, and I can draw in MS Paint for example, but I cannot draw in PS. 

Appreciate any help out there, thank-you.

Steve

This type of stylus just imitates touch input and doesn't support advanced stylus support through WinInk. Photoshop doesn't support finger painting on the canvas, hence why the stylus your using doesn't work on the canvas.

Apologies, title should have said Photoshop.
