What I expected

When running Krita in Windows on a Lenovo C940 laptop I should be able to use the built-in pen to get pressure sensitivity. E.g. when using a pen which becomes larger the more you press.

What I got

The pressure sensitivity is non-functional but strange. On a normal document, when doing quick swipes with a pressure sensitive pen, there is a thin line and many large circles which appear haphazardly. Selecting just a single point of the screen and pressing seems to maybe work. But when the pen is moved, the large cicles appear immediately. Also, when in the scratchpad, everything works perfectly.

How I solved it

  • In Windows, go to Settings > Pen & Windows Ink
  • Activate “Let me use my pen as a mouse in some desktop apps”

Then it immediately works as expected.
