Frustrating Input Delays of Your Pen Tablets in Windows? Here's the Fix!

 After a while I use MacOS with my ancient Huion H640P, it works so flawlessly in terms of input. There some time of hiccup where the driver is disconnected itself in the middle of work. But it goes back after just opening the driver app. Not so much trouble.

But one time, I decided to work in my Windows PC. I connected my Huion, and try to do something cool in Photoshop and Illustrator. The input lag is pretty noticeable. Especially if I stroke the brush slowly, the lag is pretty frustrating. It feels like 0,2 to 0,5 seconds of delay, which is, pretty significant disturbance. 

Here's the fix: disable the Windows Ink. 

In my Huion driver app, you go to "Digital Pen" menu, and you will see there is a check mark for Windows Ink. Disable it. Immediately the input lag is gone.

I notice the pen pressure is not working. Though this already happened before the input lag issue, I will update further if there is some workaround.
