Windows 11 Increase Strength for Pen Support What Does It Do
I can’t find any info about what Increase Strength for pen support means in Windows 11. Clicking it just opens pen settings with no related option shown.

When you touch the screen, The tablet feels how hard you press.
Press lightly → thin, soft line; Press hard → thick, dark line
If you increase strength, the tablet wants you to press harder before it makes a thick line.
If you decrease strength, even a tiny press makes a thick line.
It’s basically adjusting how “sensitive” the pen is.
For some devices, you can find advanced calibration tools by searching for and opening "Control Panel" > changing the view to "Large icons" > and selecting "Tablet PC Settings"
This setting is located under Settings > Bluetooth & other devices > Pen & Windows Ink, and is used to enhance the pressure sensitivity of the stylus; however, it requires hardware support from the pen.
