Type of device : drawing tablet
Brand and version of the device: huion inspiroy
In krita when i lift the pen too far from the tablet and try draiwng again, the pen wont move or draw anything. Randomly it starts working again but when i lift the pen again, it won’t work. This only happened while i was using krita and the pen worked perfectly fine in ms paint. This happened on 2 seperate computers too.
Hello and welcome to the forum 
If you do Setting → Configure Krita → Tablet settings → Open Tablet Tester, you’ll have the Tablet Tester windows showing.
With the pen tip far above the tablet, move it slowly down close to the tablet (with the cursor over the grid area) but don’t touch it. Lift it up far away and slowly bring it back again and lift it back up again.
Then touch the tablet surface with it and lift it away again.
You should get a record of events like this:
Pen tip brought near
Pen tip taken away

That’s what’s supposed to happen. Does that happen for you, consistently every time you do that?
In the Tablet settings area, do you have Wintab or Windows Ink selected?
You can try swapping that selection over to see if that improves the situation.
If you’re on Wintab at the krita end, then you need to disable Windows Ink in the Huion tablet driver setup utility and probably at the Windows system level.
If you’re on Windows Ink at the krita end, you need to have Windows Ink enabled in the Huion driver setup utility and you’ll need to check settings for Windows Ink at the Windows system level.
This is never a simple process.
Hello and welcome to the forum @doodle_bob!
Edit: As nearly always @AhabGreybeard was faster.
I have to ask you to support us with the standard informations first, otherwise we won’t be able to help you - even if it sounds like a problem with the Windows Ink settings.
Which Windows are you using?
which version of Krita are you using,
is your Windows up to date and all available updates installed,
are the tablet’s drivers up to date.
AND since there is more than one Inspiroy model please the exact model designation of your tablet, right now it’s like you want to buy a spare part for your VW for us - which VW?
Then you could try “the standard tip” and in the Krita “Settings” menu under “Tablet settings” change either from “WinTab” to “Windows 8+ Pointer Input (Windows Ink)” or the other way around, then restart Krita and hope that this fixes your problem.
Furthermore I can recommend the Krita manual. This link will take you directly to the chapter for graphics tablets. Also you should consider the forum search as your friend, very many problems have been solved here several times. A little more initiative on your part will show those who want to help you that you are also participating, so far you have only read one post, it seems you don’t particularly care about solving your problem.

Thank you for the help! I switched from windows ink to wintab and it works now.
