Its 2021 and this is still a problem. Fortunately, this solution still works! Having to restart my computer every time I wanted to use my tablet was so annoying! Thanks!!!
It's now 2021 and I think ALL of us should write WACOM and tell them we are going to never buy any of their crap products again if they can't get a decent driver working with Windows 10. I've written them and since they are a Japanese company, I told them I believe it is extremely dishonorable to sell a person an expensive product and not support it anymore along with finally fixing their driver issues. They should work directly with Microsoft and Apple to fix the issues and be done with it. I'm sick of WACOM, the Costs involved and then they stop supporting their expensive products hoping to make more money from individuals spending another $2500-$3500 just to stay in business. Most big businesses would scrap Wacom too if they found an alternative company such as the Microsoft Graphics Tablet or the HUION Tablets. It usually takes an act of God to get a big business to purchase a $3,000-$3,500 tablet with letters of "Justification" etc;, only to have their drivers not work due to some obscure block from a firewall issue or virus software. In addition Virus Software programs are destroying computer speeds drastically to 50% or more along with encryption programs - creating dramatic lag. It's too the point if you have to work on a tablet, you need a computer OFF of the internet completely with no network or computer access whatsoever. Just a Graphics computer (stand-alone) and since it's 2021 - that is unacceptable! Furious at wasting an entire day and what was supposed to work now doesn't no matter what "answer" some one comes up with. Windows probably did an upgrade and destroyed the USB or Driver connection with Wacom and didn't realize it. Usually what happens as well and that is why Wacom would do well to actually communicate with Microsoft and/or Apple. They don't want to as they stupidly see them now as of course, competition.
Ironically when I first got the intuos around 2018ish the drivers worked fine And then I moved to another com and tried to install the driver again and BOOM! Restart for days
2020 and this bug is still there, THANK U SO MUCH IM CRYING i was struggling in like an hour how to fix that thing when cursor sesitivity is not working and u helped me out, thank u ; _ ;
Worked for me. Thank you so much! It's maddening how much their products cost and then everything just keeps breaking! Hopefully they start getting more competition and they'll either have to get their s**t in gear or fall by the wayside.
I have to tell you I have disregarded attempting to fix this for 2-3 years because every day I do, every fix requires me to reinstall, restart, doesn't work, uninstall everything, restart, doesn't work. Use sketchy programs to remove every possible wacom item possible in safe mode and restart and every time I do I feel less like I have an option and it never works. You just solved my problem. The problem was so easy to fix but you solved it and I thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart.
Hey I know this video old but I gotta say thanks for the help; you are based and deserve a bunch of Ws :3 Also for anyone who stumbles upon this: the tips work as of 01/24/24. I did this for my Sai2 ver. 2023.11.20 and it works no problem.
Thankyou!!! This problem happened to me in the middle of an online class and restarting my computer was definitely not an option for me. This was sooo helpful!
At work I use a cheap Huion tablet. It works wonderfully. Wacom at home, and every time I try to use it, I have issues. It's always been like this, but back in the day you just kinda dealt with the quirks because no other tablets were even decent. At this point I am done with Wacom. I've been trying to find a *real* permanent fix for this for a year now. Don't tell them to fix their drivers, let them really know what happens when you treat your customers this badly. (they always deflect it, "It's windows fault" or "it's photoshop's fault." Just buy from another company. Huion, as an example, now has a battery-free tablet. I have a Surface Pro, and it works pretty dang well too. I figure after ten years of sub-par service from Wacom, enough is enough.
I am so regretfull i didn't saw this before buying my intuos... Im sick of having to spend 30 minutes waiting for drivers to react before i can actually draw...
Especially when my computer automatically logs out after a certain time, the drivers seem to have the 'not running' issue and it suggests that I restart my computer. Fortunately i found your method and it saved me some time, thanks!
vid is 5 years ol an still relevant, thank you so much, I didn't have to restart it rather for some reason it was disabled, completely, thank you so much!!
2/14/2022 Bug is still there, i thought my tablet was scuffed but nah. Cant believe it STILL hasnt been fixed. That's sad. Thank you very much though this seriously would've impaired my motivation to draw.
Jesus, thank you! I updated all the drivers in my PC and the tablet one as well, and nothing worked, then i came across this vid and BOOM! worked almost instantly. Thank you.
This saved a lot of time for me, thank you for this video! I run into a problem with my Wacom tablet almost every time my PC goes to "rest" mode and when I open it again the tablet driver has stopped wotking and restarting takes quite a hefty time. It's good to know that there's altearnative ways to fix this issue! :)
Thank you so much I have a Wacom tablet for my windows laptop and every time I press the right buttons on my Wacom drawing pen, it does not want to cooperate with me. Thankfully, your tutorial saved me minutes of constant restarts thank you 🙏
It's really nice when people make a 2 minute video showing this stuff, instead of front loading the video with loads of trash, bravo =) Nothing more infuriating then having to skip through a 10 minute video for a the 30 second fix.
THANK YOU IN 2019 gosh im so sick of the drive i downloaded on the website bc i lost my disc. and it kept cracking time to time and #%^* thank god ur a life saver hkseoxjsijzx
Thank you!! Got a WACOM Intuos recently (1 month) and I just experienced this sh... ..stuff. It's 2018 now and Wacom Drivers still seems to be borked. Thank you for the info tho. And let's hope they will fix their drivers for 2019.
IVE HAD MY ONE BY WACOM TABLET FOR LIKE THREE YRS NOW BUT I NEVER GOT TO USE IT EVEN ONCE BC THE DRIVERS WONT FCKIN WORK AND NOW I SAW THSE AND NOW ITS WORKING AND IM CRYING HH THSNK YOU OJMYMDFKLM
I used to say "Way-Com" until I called their tech-support and heard them call it "walk'em". Apparently, they're Walk'em tablets! Funny thing is, When I dual-booted into Ubuntu or Crunchbang (or later Crunchbang++ on a really old notebook) all those OS'es recognized Wacom tablets natively, and didn't need any extra drivers installed!
I’m in 2023 and the driver on a brand new cintiq is still doing that shit. It stops working at least once a day. Wacom should provide an official driver reset solution. Resetting the computer every time is absurdly annoying.
2017 and playing roller coaster tycoon 2? have a like and a comment good woman.
Its 2021 and this is still a problem. Fortunately, this solution still works! Having to restart my computer every time I wanted to use my tablet was so annoying! Thanks!!!
I have to revisit this video every few months because I forget the process, but seriously, you're a lifesaver. Thank you!
Glad I could help ^^
Nearly end of 2019 and THE BUG IS STILL THERE....
EDIT: I came to see my comment 2 years later and apparently the bug is still there lmao
nearly half way through 2020 and THE BUG IS STILL HERE...
i'm talking to you from 2020 qwq

Thanks god someone is smart in this fucking community that take all the shit wacom give them!
I am so regretfull i didn't saw this before buying my intuos... Im sick of having to spend 30 minutes waiting for drivers to react before i can actually draw...
Yeah, I'm thinking of selling my Wacom to buy a cheaper tablet from Huion!
yeah, my next tablet is NOT going to be a wacom. and this is my first tablet.
Professional services didn't show up for me, so I restarted the Consumer services instead, and it still worked. Thanks for this!
Especially when my computer automatically logs out after a certain time, the drivers seem to have the 'not running' issue and it suggests that I restart my computer. Fortunately i found your method and it saved me some time, thanks!
vid is 5 years ol an still relevant, thank you so much, I didn't have to restart it rather for some reason it was disabled, completely, thank you so much!!
Thanks for the tip, i had been freaking out over "driver not responding" BS.
2:21 Our voices... and.. YES U SAVED MY FREAKING LIFE!!!
YOU ARE MY ANGEL, I contact with Wacom service 3 times and they don't help me. You do it and I can back to drawing again
Had to find this video again because this is the only thing that worked without restarting my pc, thank you.
2023, and this STILL works. For the bluetooth intuos no less, resolving the driver and the bluetooth connectivity problem both.
2/14/2022
Bug is still there, i thought my tablet was scuffed but nah. Cant believe it STILL hasnt been fixed. That's sad. Thank you very much though this seriously would've impaired my motivation to draw.
Oh... I didn't even noticed that button "restart" being there at all until you mentioned it. XD
Thank you so much ! this is really helpful :D (and congrats on the 100 likes, that I hit the likes for you. :> )
OMG You're a Godsend!!!! THANK YOU!!! I did it like twice and I restarted the consumer one just in case too and it worked! it ducking worked!
Jesus, thank you! I updated all the drivers in my PC and the tablet one as well, and nothing worked, then i came across this vid and BOOM! worked almost instantly. Thank you.
Thank you very much, this solved my problem right away, it just capped out on me while working on a commission after a windows update.

This saved a lot of time for me, thank you for this video!
I run into a problem with my Wacom tablet almost every time my PC goes to "rest" mode and when I open it again the tablet driver has stopped wotking and restarting takes quite a hefty time.

I cant find anything relating to the wacom thing in services at all.
You saved me from my deadlines. Much thankyouu QwQ

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I've been losing my shit over this kind of thing for so long it's not even funny.

2020, the driver is still poopy and this viedo is still magic
Thank you very much for this video. Got that BS almost every second time the PC comes out of energy saving mode.
5 years later still saving people
I used to say "Way-Com" until I called their tech-support and heard them call it "walk'em". Apparently, they're Walk'em tablets! Funny thing is, When I dual-booted into Ubuntu or Crunchbang (or later Crunchbang++ on a really old notebook) all those OS'es recognized Wacom tablets natively, and didn't need any extra drivers installed!
Thanks because I really didn't want to restart my computer but this worked
omfg THANK YOU this was pissing me off SO MUCH!!!
Your a god sent here from the skies, I thought my tablet was gone
YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER
THANK YOU , FOR YOUR HELP IT DID WORK AFTER YOUR ADVICE
AAAAAAAAA THANK YOUUUUUU!!! I've been trying to figure it out for ages!!
I’m in 2023 and the driver on a brand new cintiq is still doing that shit. It stops working at least once a day.
Wacom should provide an official driver reset solution. Resetting the computer every time is absurdly annoying.
thank you so much, i got it fixed!!!
for some reason the service was set on manual start
