  1. Why does the XP Pen Artist 12 second gen driver keep taking me to Play Store on my Windows...


    Every time I download the XP Pen Artist 12 second gen driver, I keep getting taken to the Play Store where it then asks if I want to switch out of S mode. I really want to be able to use my pen display properly, but I have no idea what to do.

  2. My Xp Pen Artist 12 Pro is recognized as a keyboard

    Hello Nguyễn Hiền Trang,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community.



    If your Xp Pen Artist 12 Pro is being recognized as a keyboard when you connect it to your computer, it might be due to a driver or software issue.

    I have organized the following steps for you, please follow the guide step by step to try to solve your problem:

    1.Check the USB cable and port: Ensure that you are using the provided USB cable that came with the Xp Pen Artist 12 Pro. Also, try connecting it to a different USB port on your computer.

    2.Check device manager: Open the Device Manager on your computer and look for any unrecognized or misidentified devices. If you find the Xp Pen tablet listed as a keyboard or any other device, try uninstalling it from the Device Manager and then reconnect the tablet to see if it gets recognized correctly.

    3.Update drivers: Visit the official Xp Pen website and check if there are any updated drivers available for your model. Download and install the latest drivers to see if it resolves the issue.

    Here is the official driver download address I found for you:

    4.Uninstall and reinstall drivers: If updating the drivers didn't work, try uninstalling the current drivers from your computer and then reinstalling them.

    5.Try on another computer: Test the Xp Pen tablet on another computer to see if the issue persists. This will help you determine if the problem is with the tablet or the computer.

    6.Contact Xp Pen support: If none of the above steps work, it's best to reach out to Xp Pen customer support for further assistance. They may have specific troubleshooting steps or be able to provide a solution to the problem.

    Remember that technology and driver updates can change over time, so it's always a good idea to check the latest support information and documentation available from the manufacturer's website.

  3. Windows 11 and XP-PEN Artist 22 Pro incompatibility (solved!)

    Okay. Finally, I have a fix for this. There is a temporary fix I figured out, but also a permanent fix. The problem is caused by the Esc key and old firmware.

    1. Temporary fix. Use Microsoft PowerToys Keyboard Manager to disable the Esc key. This is what is actually causing the problem.
    2. Permanent fix. Request a Firmware update from XP-Pen for the Artist 22 Pro. To run the firmware update, I would suggest disabling Esc key, then running update, then re-enabling Esc key.
    Good luck.
