Brush not working properly!

[exploding_bunni]

Hello, i need some help in troubleshooting this issue. i open photoshop to draw, i am using the brush tool, and when i try and lay down a stroke in an attempt to draw, it only pans around the canvas as if i'm holding space and moving the cursor around. the only time i can get a stroke is if i make a stroke from left to right and even then that is a hit or miss. when i am zoomed out at 100% i can draw fairly okay, however if i zoom in and go past 100% the issue returns in which i cannot draw and i end up just panning around the canvas. i reset preferences, uninstalled/reinstalled photoshop, reset my drivers for my wacom, uninstalled/reinstalled my wacom driver, restarted my computer, and i'm running low on ideas. i even fooled around in the settings in the wacom driver and nothing. it's such a niche problem and i really need the assistance.

Can you provide more information about your Hardware and software versions installed.

i assumed it was photoshop, so i updated photoshop to 19.1.2. i also have installed the latest version of 2017. in addition i also reset all tools in both versions. my hardware is a Nvidia Geforce GTX 950m on a Asus Laptop. i'm also using a medium Wacom intuos pro, i  its the newest one with the pro pen 2. and i'm not using the wireless function with it at the moment, its got a cable form the tablet to my laptop.

i feel ridiculous for asking but how would i go about uninstalling the update?

Control Panel>Program Features>View Installed Updates.  Then uninstall it from the list of updates.

To stop it being reinstalled you need to pause the update process.  Go to Settings>Update and Security/Windows Update>Update Settings> Advanced Options>Pause Updates and switch it on.  This will give you a month of no updates.  Those of us affected by this problem are all hoping that MS/Wacom will have a solution by then.

Hello, I've recently discovered a permanent solution that bypasses the new windows update. i had to uninstall and rollback the update so many times that the uninstall option became unavailable when i were to try and uninstall the update because i didn't do the above ^^^ instead,

- i turned off the windows ink option in wacom driver settings

- downloaded notepad and typed in

# Use WinTab

UseSystemStylus 0

- then I saved the notepad document as a txt file. and be sure to save it into the photoshop settings file. you can access this on windows via right clicking the windows logo at the bottom left.

- then select run

- type %appdata%

- hit enter

- go to appdata

- roaming

- adobe

- adobe photoshop cc 2018

- adobe photoshop cc 2018 settings

- place/save the txt. file that was created earlier. you may have to restart photoshop but i didn't. heres a link to what i used. https://sweetmonia.com/Sweet-Drawing-Blog/wacom-tablet-how-to-disable-windows-ink-keep-pressure-sens...

Here is a probable answer to your question.  Situation is serious, but not dire.  See this discussion for work-arounds:

I cannot tell you how hard I would hug you if I met you. Thank you SO much. I thought it was a pen and tablet issue meaning a pricey fix for new ones.
