Drawing tablet moving Photoshop canvas instead of drawing/Stylus working like hand tool

[TensorialYew8]

This problem has just recently started a week or two ago and I don't know why it's happening

I'm using a Huion Kanvas gt-191 and a Monoprice 10594 tablet. (Photoshop CC)

When I use the Stylus in Photoshop the canvas/screen moves around instead of drawing like it's acting like the Hand Tool but the hand doesn't appear,

I tried other programs and the Stylus works just fine in those programs (Illustrator, Krita, and InDesign)

I've tried shutting down my computer and trying again but that only fixes it until I zoom in/out just a tiny bit.
Also, I tried resetting all preferences on Photoshop (did nothing),
Also, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drawing tablet software (did nothing)

and also I tried turning off windows ink, that fixes it but I lose pressure sensitivity (which is crucial for me)

P.s. I am using a Windows 10 Laptop ASUS ROG GL503VD-DB74 15.6" Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 16 GB Me...

Is it maybe related to this?

Brush moves the Canvas - Surface Pen

I haven't experienced it yet myself; I use Windows 10 x64 and a 2nd-gen Intuos (not the Pro model).

This helped me! It's resolved now Had the exact same issue.

There are many  using Window 10, Photoshop, with Pen Devices having Problems after windows update KB4089848. I do not It may be becaise of how all thing are configured.   Windows setting, Wacom Drivers & setting, and Photoshop preferences. Photoshop doeg not support Stylus drawing a Digital Pen is required.

As suggested by JJMack, try this solution: Brush moves the Canvas - Surface Pen
It worked for me after hours of looking for a solution. I found a workaround, holding down the lower button on my pencil. But now it's resolved for good.

I use a wacom tablet and i had to turn off "use windows ink" option in my wacom settings.

[AggelosBiou]

Turning off "use windows ink" worked for me. It can be found as a check box at the bottom of "wacom tablet properties">grip pen>mapping

edit: Lost my tilt and pressure sensitivity though grrrr

edit2: Was able to regain tilt and pressure sensitivity using the WinTab work around mentioned in other threads:

1. Go to C: > Users > Username > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 > Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings
(I assume this works for other versions of PS CC as well; just go to appropriate folder )

2. Create text file called PSUserConfig.txt
2. add the following line to the text file:

Use System Stylus 0

3. Save. Restart Photoshop if you had it running.

I'm new to Windows.

How do I use WinTab?

Thank you, you are my savior.  I just spent 2 hours first getting my pen to stop grabbing the screen instead of drawing and then after fixing that I lost sensitivity but only in Photoshop and aaaaarrrrrghhhhh I hate Windows updates.  Thank you thank you thank you.

Thanks, your solution worked well but found as soon as I did "Ctrl-Spacebar drag" with the pen to zoom in, that messes up again. A restart of PS helped, but I have to refrain from using key commands.

If you are using Windows 10 please read this thread. Its been posted in many threads here

Perfect! that is the solution to my problem 😉

[ca40864825]

if you have problems with your pen (my pen drags my workingfield to all directions when i use the brush or pencil) go to setup wacom tablet and go to calibrate (your pensil) and deselect Windows-inkt (left under) it could be that after the next update it wil be selected again, so deselect again if you have some troubles again. good luck.

@  ca48923524 Disabling windows ink does not provide the full solution. Just doing that will disable pressure sensitivity.

You can either - undo the update

or

Do the following (recommended) :

1. Use notepad to create a text file and type in :

UseSystemStylus 0

2. Save the file as PSUserConfig.txt in the following location
C: > Users > Username > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 > Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings

3. Go to the  tablet properties and uncheck "Use Windows Ink"

4. Restart Photoshop

That is it - all should now work well (you need to do all the above steps to retain pen pressure)

Note : There is a third option. Microsoft made this change intentionally and they have issued a way round it with registry change (see link below). However for  Photoshop the PSUserConfig method works.

Note 2 : If you have another version of Photoshop installed e.g. CC2017 then you will need to add the file to the CC2017 folders

Only I have an Artisul D16 tablet.  So, I can follow your first two steps.  But in my tablet driver config area, there is no choice to disable windows ink.  What next?

[vincent40800977]

Here's how I fixed it This is with the update still applied.

1. From Start, search for cmd

          2.Right-click Command Prompt in the search results, and choose Run as administrator

          3.At the command prompt, type or copy/paste:
          reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pen /v LegacyPenInteractionModel /t           REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

          4.Press Enter

I fixed it by disabling automatic Window updates and then deleting the latest security update as well as the latest flash update. I then rebooted my machine and everything was back to normal.

[theodorz95549338]

I was just about to comment this. It worked for me.

Found it in the known issues of reading in on the updates. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4093112/windows-10-update-kb4093112

[davidc1815]

I wonder if MS now acknowledge it was also a Windows Ink issue caused by KB4089848 and whether it will be fixed in the next patch. The Windows Ink functionality seems to be a mess.

[davescm]

It actually looks like it was intentional by the Microsoft windows ink team, so I would not look for an update soon from them:
