Pen pressure not working despite all settings being correct.

Windows 10, Vis Tablet

Solutions I've tried:

Restarted computer

uninistalled/reinstalled Photoshop

Uninstalled/reinstalled pad driver

Checked settings, all in order

Plugged pad into different USB port

Restarted computer several times.

Pressure was working just last night, but when I got up this morning, it draws at the same opacity and size regardless of my settings.

So to flesh out the problem, photoshop is not recognizing pen pressure when I try to draw with the pad. Shape Dynamics are set to pen pressure, i've selected the options on top to "always use pressure for size". In the pad configuration, the pressure works in its own program to test that it is working, but photoshop does not recognize it. Widows did update last night after I went to bed, but I can't understand why a windows update would make it impossible to use my pen-pad in photoshop...

I've tried searching online for help, but almost no one uses a vis tablet, so I am at a complete loss.

Correct answer JJMack

The latest version of photoshop use INK API if brush dynamics has yellow triangle try adding the config preference file to your phottoshop preferences to use Wintab Api do a search on using wintab api.

What version of Photoshop and which API is the tablet's driver using Wintab or INK?

It is the latest version of Photoshop, and so far as the API, i am uncertain how to check what it is using in order to answer that.
