I just purchased a Surface Pen. I'm using a Surface Pro 7 and Photoshop Elements 2021.
The pen isn't working correctly. If I select a tool, say the Move tool, the Smudge is selected instead. If I select the Lasso, the Gradient is selected. If I instead, use my finger and touch the Pencil and then try to use the pen, it just has a precise curser.
The pen seems to work fine in Paint or another program. I had been using an older Wacom tablet with success. I did got into Windows' calibrate pen twice, but it's still having problems.
I have read many older posts that had problems with the Surface Pen, but nothing newer. Any help please?
I have a Surface Pro 4, installed Photoshop Elements 2021 yesterday as a trial version and had the same experience.

In PSE menu under Edit / Preferences / Display & Cursor / set the UI scaling factor to automatic.
Close PSE.
Go to the system folder C / Programs / Adobe / Photoshop Elements 2021 / right click on the file PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe / Properties / Compatibility / Change High DPI settings / check High DPI scaling and under

Then open PSE. Now it should work. With me it was in any case so.
This is a translation from German into English. I hope it is understandable and the terms in the program settings are present in the English menus.
