If you are a retoucher using windows as an operating system, you may need experienced a few problems in the past, or maybe you just gave up and got used to them so much that you hardly notice anymore.
Most of the trouble started with Windows 8, when Microsoft changed the APIs, more importantly, how the touch interface originally interacted with the operating system. Good news it is that Microsoft supports the touch recognition feature, and they are concentrating their platforms to be smaller and smaller depends on hardware... With windows 10 and device surfaces we now find Microsoft is closing the bang between desktop and mobile devices running the same operating system.
You may ask, OK, what's the problem here?
Well ..., touch functionality was something that we could turn off in the past. There is no such possibility anymore. Therefore, your Operating System will think that your Wacom is touch display and wait a few milli seconds to see if there will be double or multi tapes finger inputs. You can imagine the resulting lag or communication delay.
In the past, you would be able to change your Wacom driver and settings by simply turning off Windows ink, and tell your system not to use the built-in Windows support touch a rather Wacom engine.
Things ran smoothly in Photoshop, where we need precision until Adobe decided to stop Flash support based software and focus your resources on HTML.
This software change resulted in several other problems. For example, when you are not using Windows ink, Photoshop (and to this day: CC2015) does not recognize its pen and you cannot use pen pressure. Unfortunately, even if you enable handwriting Windows, the tablet user experience appears to be dark. The response from the cursor will often lag, sometimes even jump when trying to make precise movements. Or worse, when you click and drag, there may be delays that can cause a large number of unwanted disappointments.
Luckily, there are ways to get the pen pressure back into Photoshop and the tablet runs as smoothly as possible. And it can all be achieved without switching to long-range improved hardware and software devices Apple

Windows 10 refers to operating systems new generation, hallmark which is the ability to fully customize all settings, desktop, applications and functions for yourself.
By default, in a normally configured Windows 7 Ultimate, after installing the drivers for the Wacom tablet (and any other tablet, as I understand it), the built-in services for tablet pc(Tablet PC Components) and related settings... A lot of functions are added - and handwriting text input, and an on-screen keyboard hiding on the side, and graphical add-ons for tracking the cursor. This wealth is intended not so much for graphic tablets as for the so-called tablet PCs with a touch screen.
For example, when the pen was pressed for a long time on the tablet surface, a circle was smoothly drawn around the cursor, and then a menu appeared, accessible by right-clicking the mouse. With a short press from the cursor to the sides, a kind of "circles in the water" scatter.
On the tablet computer this is useful: firstly, you see where you pressed, and secondly, if you use a regular stylus with a touchscreen (resistive touch screen), not equipped with buttons, it is easy to carry out all basic actions with both the left and right mouse buttons, without pressing additional buttons ...
But, in the case of graphic tablet connected to an ordinary computer All this terribly interferes with working - in Photoshop all these animation circles are just harmful. Unfortunately in standard settings Wacom tablets do not regulate these functions, and you can blow your mind trying to figure out how to get rid of the added features without demand.
So, how to remove the circles around the cursor and the rest:
1. To simply remove the circle that appears with a long press (disable triggering of a click on right button mouse), you need:
Control Panel -> Pen and Touch -> in the Pen Options tab disable Press and hold for right-clicking.
2. To avoid any "circles on the water" around the cursor when pressed, you need to make settings through the Local Group Policy Editor. To do this, open the Run menu (Windows + R), enter gpedit.msc and press enter. The same editor is launched. In him:
-> User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Tablet PC -> Cursors
Here you need double click open Turn off pen feedback and set it to enabled status. After closing the Local Group Policy Editor window, the circles around the cursor will disappear. They can then return after installing some kind of update that resets the settings, but in the same way, it will be enough to go in and turn off these options.
In some places on the Internet you can find advice to uninstall Tablet PC Components. As practice shows, this only helps to remove onscreen keyboard and handwriting input. Done through Control Panel -> Programs and features -> Turn Windows features on or off.
Can you suggest a way to make it easier?
