No Pen Pressure and PSUserConfig Workaround no longer works.

[Pat23389944ei29]

Since the latest rounds of updates to Photoshop I have noticed the only way I can get Pen Pressure to work is with 'Windows Ink' turned on.

The PSUserConfig workaround no longe works and when Windows Ink is on, it is accompanied by the 'Alt' and 'Ctrl' modifier key tooltip bubbles.   Adobe also did this to Substance Painter as well.

Surely these pop ups come under Accessibility, because with Windows Ink turned on, I am no longer able to use the software as intended due to the issues caused by the modifer key tooltip pop ups.

Surely there must be a way for Adobe to disable these when their software is running if we MUST use Windows Ink?   I dont understand the logic behind this - it's been a bug for YEARS. 

Hopefully we can get an answer to this - and with all due respect, I don't really accept the 'It's designed to work with Windows Ink' response because the software doesn't function as it should.

I use Windows Ink here with no such issues.

In Windows go to Settings > Bluetooth and Devices > Pen & Windows Ink > Additional pen settings  and make sure that 'Display additional keys pressed when using my pen' is unchecked.

Hi Davescm,

Thanks for this information, unfortunately those options only seem to be available on Windows 11.  I am still running Windows 10.   But it is something I will look at when I have to upgrade to Windows 11.

Many thanks again for the info.

Hi Nikunj,

Thank you for this link - it seems as though the issue stems from the fact that Windows 10 does not have these features and because Microsoft want to force more users over to Win 11.  Unfortunately it looks like I may have to finally move to Win11 in order for software to work correctly.
Thank you again.

That pages does not refeence use a PSUserConfig.txt - Use WinTab in PS CC for Wacom Tablet not INK

Create the text file then add:
UseSystemStylus 0

This should be saved in your PS settings folder
Save the file as a plain text file named PSUserConfig.txt in the Photoshop settings folder:
Example -  Windows: Users | User Name | AppData | Roaming | Adobe | Adobe Photoshop 2024 Settings

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your message. I have tried that version of the PSUserConfig.txt on Windows 10 and it seems to be working as normal. Previously I had the #Use WinTab part included.  It looks like that is no longer needed, thank you for your help.

Regards.
