Photoshop suddenly stopped recognizing pen pressure from my tablet yetsterday.
I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Connect tablet on a Windows 8 computer with Photoshop CS6
I've tried:
1. uninstalling the drivers
2. checking wintab files were gone from system32 and sysWOW64
3. restarting
4. reinstalling drivers
5. checking new wintab files are present
6. restarting
I updated photoshop (and repeated those 5 steps), reinstalling the drivers as an admin, reset the paintbrush tool, but no matter what I do, when I go to the Shape Dynamics option in Photoshop, I get the triangle with the exclamation point telling me that I need a pressure sensitive tablet.
I've tried plugging the tablet in and then opening photoshop.
I've tried opening Photoshop and then plugging in the tablet.
I updated the drivers for all of the hardware on my computer.
I've tried the pressure sensitivity in two other (non Adobe) programs and it works there, so it doesn't seem like a problem with the tablet itself.
I've tried every solution I could find online but none of them seem to be working for me. Any advice?
I'd just like to point out to everyone if you're having trouble, just insert your tablet into a different USB slot. I literally just changed my Wacom from the back of my tower to the front of my tower and suddenly the warning on pen pressure vanishes and it works fine.
It could be a case of your computer and photoshop just not communicating very well.
Another win to SAI.

Adobe broke Photoshop WinTab support is CC 2019 update 20.1 you can not use WinTab support with photoshop version 20.1 and newer like 21.2.2. Remove the PSUserConfig.txt from your Photoshop Preferences folder and check Use Window INK in your Wacom Preferences.

SOLVED IT...
So i did all the things that everyone recommended, nothing worked, the triangle was still there.
So i fixed it by mistake, how?
Windows ink had a prompt to download a program called Whiteboard, and its just a drawing app.
I downloaded just for the sake of it. When i opened it to my XP-Pen screen, i was able to use the sensitivity, as normal.
As if my magic, i starded drawing on photoshop and it fixed itself!!!

So for some reason Ps does not recognise the pressure until another program does...
Allas, i hope it is going to be an easy solution for you too...
