    Surface Pen Won't Write + Missing Drivers


    My surface pen for my Surface Pro 7+ stopped writing. I have had this problem before, and used to be able to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling, or updating certain drivers. That didn't work this time, and I have tried everything. My pen battery is 60% and still connects to the Surface. The eraser also works. While trying to resolve the issue, I noticed that I was missing my HID compliant touch screen driver and my HID compliant pen driver, even when using "show hidden drivers". Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

    :)

    Surface Pro 4 Pen will not write on screen

    My Surface Pro 4 Pen which I got with Surface Pro 4 has stopped writing. I can connect pen with Surface Pro 4 and and all works except I cannot write on screen.
    I suspect it is the tip of pen that does not work but cannot verify this.
    Please note tip is not broken.
    Before I purchase a tip kit can someone suggest what I can try to see if it is the tip or something else that is faulty.
    My surface Pro 4 is up to date with all updates including BIOS updates. I use a Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
    Thank you.
