Wacom tablet - issue with pen pressure - text under cursor - no brush preview

Question

I am using latest PS version 26.3 on win10.

Nvidia with latest driver.

When I Use Windows Ink, pen pressure is working but i get an anoying text under the cursor when I press Atl/Ctrl/Shift. This is annoying but I can tollerate it. the problem is that once I press any of these keys, when using the selection brush e.g., it changes the cursort from brush to noraml arrow cursor for the rest of teh selection operation.

I start 'quick selectio' the sursor is a brush shape and if I press e.g., Alt it change to the default windows arrow cursor and stays this way even when I release the Alt button.

When unselect Use Windows Ink, the selection works as it should , the brush does not change shape to arrow, there is no annoying text under the brush, however, the pen pressure is not working.

So how do i make it all work?

Hi,I recalled that years ago I was using the "PSUserConfig.txt" method, which was reported as not working any longer, at least not in the new versions of PS.I tried it and it solved my issue.

Create a text file called PSUserConfig.txt with the content of: "UseSystemStylus 0".
Place it in "...\appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2025\Adobe Photoshop 2025 Settings\"

If you could share a small video of the issue, that would be super helpful for us to try and reproduce it.Thanks a bunch! Alek
