How to reset my brushes, as they are not working properly

[RichardL1967]

In Windows 11, on PS UpToDate. I turned on the computer this morning and my brushes don't behave. Is there a way to reset all brushes - just to leave the General brushes (or the ones that normally come with Ps)?

Hi

You can drag your current brush groups to the trash, and then append default brushes.

A noted way to get rid of a brush group. But not the problem. I
amended another general group and the brush I used (hard round pressure
size in general brushes folder) doesn't work. If I add pressure on the pen,
it doesn't show up on the canvas, just shows a line without pressure added.

You didn't mention anything about Pen Pressure in your initial post "Is there a way to reset all brushes - just to leave the General brushes (or the ones that normally come with Ps)?"

Do you have Pen Pressure enabled in the Brush Settings tab, also what kind of Pen and Tablet are you using.

If I rest to general or delete all and reload the general brushes, the
outcome will be the same.

It's the fact that the pen is probably not telling Ps what the pressure is?

I have an XP-Pen Artist 22" Pro - a bit of an oldie but still works some of
the time.

The pressure button is not pressed, though I did try messing around with it.

I had Windows Ink checked and shouldn't have.

Working again now. You mentioned the tablet and I forgot I checked that
when probably my USB cable had come undone, and I was looking for the
answer.

Thank you,
Richard
