Type of device* : Windows Laptop
Brand and version of the device: HP Pavilion x360
System** : Windows 11
I’m drawing on an HP Pavilion laptop and for the longest time I haven’t been able to figure out how to get pressure sensitivity to work. I’ve tried the configure toolbars and configure krita troubleshoots that I’ve come across already, but those didn’t work for me. I’m running 6.0.1 right now , version wise
Do you have a tablet with stylus attached or are you using a touch screen? Do you have it’s driver installed? I’ve had a touch screen HP Pavilion laptop (back in the Windows 8 days) and I’ve had to connect my Wacom tablet along with it’s appropriate driver to get pressure sensitivity.
unfortunately i’m just using the touchscreen of the laptop itself - is a tablet required for pressure sensitivity to work? and what is a driver 
i’m still confused as to what that means
Hello @sonny43, and welcome to the forum!
If you use the pen from HP, I think something like MPP 2.0 is its name, then you will have a pressure sensitive pen, your display should also be capable of handling this because HP is not a company that sells garbage.
Have you looked into Krita’s settings for setting up a tablet in Krita under Settings > Configure Krita > Tablet Settings? There you have to select the option Windows 8+ Pointer Input (Windows Ink), then confirm that setting with the OK-Button in the lower right corner of that dialog and restart Krita.
It is possible that you additionally need to set the option Use mouse events for right - and middle - clicks (workaround for convertible devices, needs restart), but I would wait to activate it and first test if you can use pressure after you made the above change. And if you should then have issues with your pen buttons, you can try if enabling this mouse event setting will change it for you, and do not forget to again confirm it and restart Krita.

I updated both of those settings, still nothing. I don’t believe my pens are exact HP brand (as I guess I didn’t even think they’d make one!) so could the pen itself be the issue then? In that case, I’ll have to find a new stylus lol
edit: it’s working now! i may have just not properly restarted it at first lol, thank you!
Here I’m not sure, most manufacturers of these 2-in-1 devices use Wacom’s pen technology under the hood, and you can use Wacom compatible pens on it. What makes me wonder is the fact that this pen, to which they pointed me to from their product page for the HP Pavilion x360, is a battery driven pen and needs to be recharged about every ~30 days. And it is not cheap, at least I find €60 for a pen a audacious announcement, you can get reliable dedicated pen tablets for that price. That is something which in these days is very unusual because everything runs battery-free (capacitive?) pens.

Edit/Add: I’m happy to hear that this issue is now solved for you.
Would you be so kind to mark this topic as solved now, please?
Thank you!

For the future, win11 has some… odd quirks? With MPP pens. My (original) MPP 2.6 MSI Pen 2, together with an MSI Summit + Win11, originally did not even work properly at all & I had to return it, while the second pen worked properly – but only when I installed linux. So I suspect this isn’t as much the pens themselves, as just windows being weird again.
Posting this in case someone looks up the thread again and also has the MPP pen + Win11 combo.
