Since the update to version 2022 it does not detect the pressure of the pen on my tablet in Windows 10

Correct answer CCramm

Got the solution for you: create a txt file called PSUserConfig.txt (case-sensitive)

Add this in the txt file:

# Use WinTab
UseSystemStylus 0


Place the txt file inside
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2022\Adobe Photoshop 2022 Settings

Restart Photoshop 2022, and pen pressure should work again.

@CCramm  answer solve me a great deal on Wacom tablet. That Windows Ink (always windows) is a peace of sh$%$%, not a surprice. Keep showing that circle and looking zoom and other stuff, like that giant shift and crtl text that keep on the way everytime. Microsoft is famous to do sh$%$$%$% things without finessss. Thanyou Ccramm, you ressurect my use of tablet in Windows Photoshop.

Enabling windows ink fixes pressure issues for me, but using the script and turning OFF windows Ink works better.

When I have windows ink on in the wacom settings, selecting and changing sliders etc. like those in the color pallete gets stuttry and inaccurate. I'd try and select a color, and the indicator of the color selected would randomly jump to another location. Made painting in PS horrible. Moving the hue slider would take a few tries and be delayed etc.

Kind of funny that with an app like PS 2022 and a wacom tablet that I have to jigger around with anything like this. Years past these things just seemed to work...

I've found it sometimes necessary to reinstall the Wacom Tablet driver after an update.
