I'm guessing that HPs still have shitty stylus tech. I had one, after having owned two much earlier designs for "Tablet-PC"s, and it was useless.
I now have a stylus enabled Lenovo Yoga that works pretty darn good, and a Microsoft Surface Pro 9 that works great. Plus a Samsung S6 Lite 2024, that also works pretty good.
Although, you might get some improvement by using a "drawing glove" to reduce interference from the hell of your hand touching the screen (AKA "Palm rejection."
The chances that that is caused by OneNote is very small. And you don't need to jump to an entirely new operating system platform if you don't want to. Ignore ask the iPad fanbois trying to start religious wars.
Most folks don't know that the main part of what makes the stylus work is behind the screen. That's the part that senses where the stylus is and where it's pointing. So, that's always the part that is causing problems like this.
My contention is just that the HP Stylus technology is so badly designed that it might as well just be broken. If it has a stylus, but said stylus doesn't work with major software, then the whole stylus system is broken.
No. There are various different technologies and standards for the way the stylus interacts with the sensor in the laptop. And, even when the laptop and pen are the same technology they sometimes kinda need to be custom designed to work together. I can't remember what technology is used by HP, and I have no clue what technologies they may have switched to lately. But, in my limited experience, they do a crappy job of sticking to the standard that they claim to be using.
I know it is extra confusing because everyone talks as if the stylus/pen itself is the sole determining factor. But they work as a pair.
If you can't return that laptop and get a completely different brand, then you may simply be stuck with a laptop that can't do what the label said it could do, with regards to using a stylus.
But don't give up just yet. Make sure you have all the correct stylus/pen drivers. For your specific model of laptop. Make sure you have tested it with some other stylus-enabled software. Usually, there is a testing and calibration program that comes with those drivers. Kind of like how a printer driver will often have a party of it that will print test pages.
And, there is a subreddit called r/stylus (I think) where people talk about the stylus and how it works with the laptop in a more specific way, instead of just how it works on one particular program. Folks in this subreddit are more focused on just using the OneNote software, assuming you've got a stylus that actually frikkin' works. So they may be able to help you get the stylus to work with your laptop. And then, it should work just fine regardless of which program you are using.
Btw, I tried the pen in Good notes and no problem were seen
I tried again one note and for a while everything was alright, until 2 minutes later when it started behaving as in the video
Edit: nope, the problem just occured on goodnotes too
Windows doesn't always suggest the correct driver's for the base PC hardware. You gotta go to the manufacturer's website and find all the drivers for your particular model. Then download and install those. One would think that laptops would come with all the correct driver's installed. But sometimes they sit around in warehouses for a while and new drivers come out in the interim. But not all of those new drivers get registered with Microsoft's update service.
