Question

My pen will not work to draw with but I can select menu items

I have a Windows 11 HP touch screen computer and I am using an ADONIT MINI 4 pen. My pen works when I click on menu options in the Photoshop program but will not work when I try to draw with it. It will register when I just use my finger to draw but will not with the pen. I have checked to make sure my opacity and flow are on with the brush option. I am using black to draw. I am pretty sure I have checked the brush settings and control is set to pen pressure. Still not working. Caps lock is not on. Everything seems to be up to date. Perhaps something in the Windows Ink settings but I do not know what. I have shut down the program and the computer to see if that would fix the issue but that did not work either. I have tried multiple tutorials on how to troubleshoot this issue but I am not sure what else to do to fix it. Please help!
