Windows 11 Official broke Surface Pro 7 pen inking
I did not change pen battery, which was 80%, nor buy another one. After countless hours of software troubleshooting I gave up, even with lots of installed programs. Backup your data, format your disk, reinstall Windows 10 or 11, and you should have it working again. This should tell you whether you have corrupted software or bad hardware. Good luck
Same thing happened to me.
I have a surface pro 7. it got replaced under warranty in December, with fresh win11 installed.
All of a sudden, it stopped inking. Rubber part however still moved cursor, all clicks worked, but drawing doesnt.
Ok, I said. The pen is dead.
I bought a new one. It worked for 10 days, and now it's the same as it is with the old one. :S
What's going on MS??
Funny thing: the old pen from my SP4 works fine 😕
