Photoshop CC 2017 Update many issues with wacom intuos pro tablet

hi,

so frustrating.

so many issues with wacom tablet and photoshop cc update. 

first of all, needless to say, the fact that it says update but then it gets rid of all your preferences. 

what is going on with adobe.

so what is the answer for how the wacom intuos pro small is in complete turmoil with the new update.  can't use the pen, can't scroll, can't click. 

i've wasted hours and hours and hours reinstalling drivers with the tablet but it appears the issue is with adobe. 

but adobe will say the issue is with wacom.

apple blames both adobe and wacom.

does anyone know what to do to make everything normal again.

how do i get the previous version of photoshop?

or is there another answer?

HELP!

    Okay I have fixed it. Well this is what has worked for me.

    Uninstall the latest driver on your machine.
    Then go to Tablet Drivers | Wacom Asia Pacific Customer Support
    download the driver that is a little older. Install and restart.

    Booooom sorted. I am not going to do anymore updates. It is way to unstable.

    Me again. I strongly urge everyone to install the latest Wacom driver, released on Dec. 27 2016.

    It resolved the issues I was having.

    The new (-10) drivers seems to resolve the issues but after a bit of use, my pen tracking stopped working completely when using Photoshop and then doesn't work at all anymore.  The Intuos Pro as a touchpad continues to work.  Before loading Photoshop, it works fine for hours on end.  Very frustrating!

    I have exactly the same problem with my brand new tablet :-(. The pen stops working especially when using the advanced tools. Also the pen does not scroll through my pictures in LR. Very annoying. All I can do is give the system a restart. Im on driver 10, mac os sierra and photoshop cc. Called the Wacom helpdesk and they admitted it is a problem in their software and are likely to bring out an update this month. That is rather late I would say....

    I'm encountering multiple key command /shortcut issues with Photoshop CC 2017 (installed today) on a brand new MacBook Pro 2016 running Sierra 10.12.1 with a WACOM Cintiq 22HD (non touch).

    • Can't auto-select using command + click
    • Can't magnify with command + space bar
    Again, this is with Cintiq. The commands work on the MacBook Trackpad but my work necessitates the Cintiq.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    my pen was set for pan/scroll on the click option.  what this allowed me to do was grab the image by clicking the normal lower click on my pen and holding it down.  now it just zooms with no control.  when i let go of that pen button, it goes back to normal size.  i have a macbook and a mac pro.  luckily i only updated the macbook.  the mac pro works as great as it always has.

    I too am having this issue. It is so frustrating as I now have to use my mouse to do the retouching in Photoshop. The problem seems to be with the tablet. As all the short cutes seem to work when I use my mouse. I want to use my Wacom Tablet though. I hope there is a solution to this issue, sooner than later.
