I am using latest PS version 26.3 on win10.
Nvidia with latest driver.
When I Use Windows Ink, pen pressure is working but i get an anoying text under the cursor when I press Atl/Ctrl/Shift. This is annoying but I can tollerate it. the problem is that once I press any of these keys, when using the selection brush e.g., it changes the cursort from brush to noraml arrow cursor for the rest of teh selection operation.
I start 'quick selectio' the sursor is a brush shape and if I press e.g., Alt it change to the default windows arrow cursor and stays this way even when I release the Alt button.
When unselect Use Windows Ink, the selection works as it should , the brush does not change shape to arrow, there is no annoying text under the brush, however, the pen pressure is not working.
So how do i make it all work?

Hi,I recalled that years ago I was using the "PSUserConfig.txt" method, which was reported as not working any longer, at least not in the new versions of PS.I tried it and it solved my issue.
- Create a text file called PSUserConfig.txt with the content of: "UseSystemStylus 0".
- Place it in "...\appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2025\Adobe Photoshop 2025 Settings\"

Hi @danl42831687! 😊
Could you share a bit more info about this issue? What does the text under the cursor say? Also, which specific tablet and pen model are you using? If you could share a small video of the issue, that would be super helpful for us to try and reproduce it.
Thanks a bunch!

My experience is that Windows Ink has been the way to go for several years now. The Lazy Nezumi Pro site has the best tablet setup page I know of, so you might like work through that.

What are your Photoshop cursopr settings? As a Windows user with a tablet, LNP is a no brainer IMO. As well as dozens of useful presets and the best brush smoothing, it also gives you more control of the cursor.

@Trevor.Dennis. I look at your link and they do have good tips for Wacom... My preference to avoid any instability, is still the PSUserConfig.txt method... it's pretty simple, it keep everything stable, i continu to uncheck windows ink, on my wacom Intuos Pro tablet , it doesn't affec my Cintiq either. and uncheck windows ink in Windows 11 pro (latest version).

Thanks for this link.
I am currently sticking with PSUserConfig.txt
What puzzles me is that it still works even though many reported it stopped working a few years ago.
