Windows INK issue with Adobe Illustrator, surface book 2 pen input

Howdy all!

I have an issue with Adobe illustrator and windows INK and surface book 2 pen input

While using Surface pen on my surface book 2 screen in Adobe Illustrator, drawing with the PEN tool the preview is dark blue.
When using my finger, the preview line is the colour of the layer. This includes using a mouse.

But when drawing with the pen tool, the line is blue and also quite laggy in illustrator. This lag completely disappears if drawing with a mouse or my finger.

So I am trying to work out if Windows INK is automatically recognizing the pen and defaulting to a certain setting.
or its an illustrator or adobe setting.
There is no settings which I can find that have any effect on this automatic default.

Here is some screen shots from my phone trying to show the issue.

Any help apprecited, As I currently cant work becuase there is too much lag using the surface pen... and drawing my finger is harder than it sounds lol.








Cheers
