PH doesn't recognize Wacom Tablet

Hello,

I've had this problem for ages. Every time I open Photoshop (PH), my brush preview does not update even though I am using a tablet. I have to restart the app 6 or 7 times for Photoshop to acknowledge my use of the tablet. Today, I did it 10 times in a row and it still doesn't work.

Other painting apps don't have this issue. If you're wondering which version of Photoshop I'm using, I can tell you it's the latest version and all of the previous versions before this one. The issue is always the same.

Windows Ink turned On or Off doesn't make any difference.

I found posts from 2016 with the same issue. It's truly heartwarming to see that even with the advent of AI, those pesky basic things still refuse to behave. But hey, who needs functionality when we have stellar marketing, right? Cheers to progress!
