Shoelacing artifact using a Wacom tablet when smoothing is turned on

I've been getting a weird shoelacing artifact that I've tried diagnosing both in Photoshop, and outside of it. I've attached a picture for reference, and will detail everything I've done to attempt to fix it. Any help or input on the issue is appreciated.

I've gone through all of my brush settings, reset my photoshop, and tested the issue on 5 different computers with 5 different Wacom tablets, including 2 separate models of tablet. Both the 4k and regular 22" screen Wacom. 

As stated in the title, the ONLY solution I've found that removes the "shoelacing" from the end of the brush stroke is to go within my brush settings and turn off smoothing from there. Setting smoothing to 0% does NOT fix the issue, and it must be completely disabled to work. Therefore it can't be an issue with the way Wacom sends brush data to photoshop, but a bug with smoothing itself.

I also tried playing around with the Wacom sensitivity settings, and I got it to work a tiny bit better, but the issue was still quite noticable, and this was not a suitable solution.

My issue now, is that I really would like to have smoothing turned on while I draw for nice curved lines, but I would also like to use pen pressure, but the shoelacing makes it look awful. 

Once again, any help or insight that DOES NOT involve a third party app is appreciated. I tried Lazy Nezumi, which worked, but I can't install that in the lab that I work on projects in, as I do not have administration privelages.
