Windows 11 questions

Wacom worked on Windows 10 but not after upgrading to 11

This is the most common issue. Uninstall the driver completely, reboot, then reinstall driver 6.4.13-4 fresh. The Windows 11 upgrade sometimes corrupts the Wacom USB driver entries. A clean reinstall almost always fixes this.

Windows 11 shows "Driver not digitally signed" warning

This should not happen with the official driver from wacom.com or from this site. If you see this warning, the file may be corrupt or from an unofficial source. Download the driver again from the official source and verify the digital signature in file Properties.
