  1. Windows 11 thinks my drawing tablet is a monitor?


    Since i recently reinstalled everything on my computer, I've now been having issues with my Gaomon PD1161 tablet. Back then when i believe i had windows 10, it worked completely fine.However now it thinks it's a monitor of it's own, which never appeared to be like that. It recognizes its a tablet, technically? Since it shows me windows ink.It isn't the tablets issue since it has never been like this and has no reason to be, the USB and everything are in the right spot, everything was how it used to be. Just that now, it's apparently a monitor with its own screen, and I can't use it as a tablet

  2. How to use my cursor from my drawing tablet?

    Hi

    Welcome to Microsoft community.

    It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with monitor mapping for your Huion Kamvas 16 2021 drawing tablet. Here are the steps to set up your tablet to work correctly in extended display mode on Windows 11:

    1. Check Display Settings: Make sure that your computer is properly recognizing both displays. Go to System > Display and check if both of your monitors (your main monitor and your tablet) are listed.
    2. Configure Tablet Settings: Open the Huion Tablet software on your computer (if you haven't installed it yet, download it from the official Huion website).
    3. Set Work Area: In the Huion Tablet software, go to the 'Work Area' or 'Mapping' tab (the exact name might vary). Here you can assign which monitor corresponds to your tablet.
    4. Choose Correct Monitor: If both monitors are recognized by the software, they should be listed in a drop-down menu under 'Select Current Display'. Select the one that corresponds to your tablet.
    5. Apply Changes: After making these changes, click on 'Apply' or 'OK' to save them.
    After following these steps, using your pen on the tablet should move the cursor on its screen rather than on the main monitor when in extended display mode.

    If this doesn't resolve your issue or if any of these options aren't available in your version of Huion's software, consider reaching out directly to Huion's support team—they'll likely be able to provide more targeted assistance based on their knowledge of common issues and troubleshooting steps for their specific products.

    Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.

    Best regards

  3. Using multiple monitors including a drawing tablet, but the drawing tablet pen registers on the wrong monitor display.

    I am using a UGEE drawing tablet with my Acer V3 computer on windows 10. My cursor appears on my PC monitor rather than my tablet monitor. I tried going to Control Panel>Tablet PC Settings>Configure>Setup, but when it's on my tablet screen and I tap it,
    the cursor is still on my PC monitor so it doesn't work. My mouse still works normally.

    UPDATE: I just installed the newest version from the website and it worked, but after un-plugging and re-plugging it, it stopped working.

    Windows 11 thinks my drawing tablet is a monitor?

    Drawing tablet not recognized.

    I recently had bought a new computer, I decided that I wanted to connect my drawing tablet to my new computer. The drawing tablet requires 1 USB port and 1 HDMI port to be plugged into the computer from it. When I plug these in, the tablet says that there's
    no connection. It also says there is not a second monitor in when I go into display settings. If I go into the Device and Printer settings on my computer, it shows the tablet is there, but in the properties of it, it shows it being a "keyboard, mouse." The
    drawing tablet is an XP-PEN Artist 12.
