    Need help getting pen to work again


    So I had bought the Bamboo Ink, newer version and for a while it worked on my 2-in1 laptop, then one day it stopped working, I though it was.in need of a new battery so I had bought some new ones but it still didnt work I even tried to change the pen settings like it says in the box but it still didn't work I even tried to go to the website and download the thing but it said "A supported tablet was not found on the system." Is there anything I can do to fix or make it work again?

  2. PEN TOOLS NOT WORKING

    Hi Deepender,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    1. What is the make and model of the Pen tool and the computer?
    2. What happens when you try to write?
    3. Are you aware of any recent changes made on the device prior to this issue?
    4. Which version of Windows is installed on your device?


    Refer the article Which Windows operating system am I running to provide
    the details.



    If you’re using the Microsoft Surface Pen, you may refer the article
    Troubleshoot Microsoft Surface Pen
    for the troubleshooting steps. The same troubleshooting steps can also be implemented for the other pens as well.

    Hope it helps.

    Pen flicks won't work at all for me after the fall update.

    Hi Brown,

    One possible reason why pen flicks won't work after the update is due to corrupted system files. To assist you better, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow these steps below on how to properly set flick settings:

    • Press Windows key + x, and select Control Panel.
    • Open Pen and Touch applet.
    • Touch the Flicks tab.
    • Ensure that the Use flicks to perform common actions quickly and easily is checked.
    • Set the Sensitivity slider to the left (Relaxed).
    • Touch Apply and OK.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
