Tablet problems with pressure and hot keys

that did not fix it. it just deleted all of my settings plugins, brushes and custome setups. do you happen to know how to bring those back???

It did not delete them. It removed them from the sight/awareness of the krita application and stored them in the file now called kritarc-suspect and the folder called now called krita-suspect

Remember this part:?

So, even with a brand new, fresh, default form of krita, there is still a problem with seeing stylus pressure.
So, it wasn’t your actions of ‘cleaning out some brushes and plug-in download’ that caused the stylus pressure problem.

You didn’t say anything about the other question:

Yes, as follows. Make sure that krita is not running.
Go into the folder at C:\Users\{your-username}\AppData\Local
Find the file called kritarc and delete it.
Rename the file called kritarc-suspect so it is called kritarc
That will restore the old settings/configuration.

Go into the folder at C:\Users\{your-username}\AppData\Roaming
Find the folder called krita and delete it.
Rename the folder called ‘krita-suspect’ so it is called ‘krita’.
That will restore the old resources folder.

Now run the krita application. The old/previous form of krita will start and will look and feel exactly as it did before.

to answer that question, no. i was only cleaning out stuff in areas such as my download section of my computer. i never touched anything inside kritas roaming or local to not mess up anything in krita itself.

I may also add that when I open Krita each time, it asks permission for my computer for Krita

Weirdly enough when I had both Windows ink selected. It would let me use pressure but still not let me use the keys on my tablet.

The important thing is that those match, means that they are enabled on both sides. Usually, but only in ~99 +X of all cases, WinTab offers the best experience, why your case doesn’t belong to them I don’t know. If I were you, I already had installed Windows anew, because when a tablet will suddenly no longer work and nothing helps fixing that, usually Windows is broken deep inside and beyond anything you could fix via online support. If you want to try that is up to you, but with all the things checked so far, we did all things thinkable without fixing your issue, the fact that Windows 8+ Pointer Input (Windows Ink) on both sides offers pressure at least tells your stylus isn’t broken which I thought in between could be the case.

For your shortcuts, have you checked that these are assigned in Krita and the tablet driver to the same keys? And be aware that only because something is called eraser in your driver does not mean it matches Krita’s shortcut, XP-Pen uses an Adobe assignment scheme and that is not compatible in parts.

What is the exact form of words of that message?
Has that always happened or has it recently started happening?

Are you the only user of the laptop and do you have the first and only user account on the laptop?

Have you ever done ‘Run as Administrator’ when starting krita?

re. reinstalling Windows:
Instead of doing that initially, I’d first suggest disconnecting your tablet then uninstalling the XP-Pen driver. Then restart the laptop.
Then install the latest XP-Pen driver in accordance with the installation instructions. That may or may not involve having the tablet connected during the installation; that situation varies depending on the tablet manufacturer.
After all that, restart the laptop then open the tablet settings/configuration utility to set up your tablet settings again.

Yes I have it as run it as administrator since a while back due to some a problem where some of my art was getting write protected (I think thats what it was called.).

I’ll try that second part and see where that leads me.

ok so i tried downloading the drivers and restarting. still didnt fix the problem.

Also here is this is the notification I get when I open Krita (ignore the sonic background)

Yes I have checked and all the hot key are assigned to what they usually are when I used Krita before this situation.

do you your think it would change if i tried not to run krita as an administrator?

SO APPARENTLY THE ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM THAT TOOK 3 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT WAS APPARENTLY TO STOP ADMINISTRATOR RUNNING KRITA. I CANT BELIEVE THAT workerd
