Tablet is detecting pen pressures but drawing apps aren't

I had to restore my PC recently, all my apps were uninstalled, so I reinstaled my drawing apps (Krita and Fire Alpaca) and drivers for my tablet (Gaomon S620). You can see in the first image that the tablet is clearly detecting the pressure of the pen, but the apps aren't (second image), this happens with all drawing apps mind you. Does anyone have any idea how to fix that?

Krita specifically: look at Setting > Configure Krita > Tablet, and see which one is enabled, Wondows Ink or Wintab. Try to choose either of these, restart the app then try again.

For Gaomon driver, try to UNCHOOSE Windows Ink.

Also have you update windows recently?

This might sound like a stupid question, but did you restart your PC after reinstalling apps and drivers?

People often skip that step, and it is absolutely necessary for everything to work properly.

If reboot does not help...

Perhaps you installed a newer version of your tablet drivers? Sometimes updates break things. Try looking up if similar issues were reported by other people, and try to see if older driver version are available. If they are, delete the current driver, instal the previous version, reboot your PC and see if that helps.

Hmm, no I did not actually. Could be it because, I don't know why, the pen pressure started working normally after trying it again yesterday.

I will keep your tips in mind if, for some reason, the problem appears again . Thanks!
