Hi there! I see you're experiencing an issue where your Sketchbook drivers are switching to generic USB tablet drivers, and that's affecting your control over the program. Let’s work through this together.

First, can you confirm the following details to help me understand the situation better?

1. What brand and model of drawing tablet are you using?
2. Have you recently updated your operating system or the drivers for your tablet?
3. Are there any specific error messages or behaviors you notice when the drivers switch?

Once I have this information, we can move on to targeted troubleshooting steps!

brand is XP Pen, have all necessary drivers installed for tablet and Operaing sytem. not anything that establishes what is at fault

Thanks for providing that information about your XP Pen tablet. Since you’ve confirmed that the necessary drivers are installed and there’s nothing obvious at fault, let’s go through a few steps to troubleshoot this issue more deeply. Here are some suggestions to try:

### 1. Check Connection
- Ensure that the USB connection is secure. Sometimes a loose connection can cause the tablet to revert to generic drivers.
- Try connecting the tablet to a different USB port on your computer to rule out port issues.

### 2. Reinstall Tablet Drivers
- Uninstall the current XP Pen drivers:
- Go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program.
- Find the XP Pen drivers and uninstall them.
- Visit the XP Pen website and download the latest drivers for your specific model and Windows version. Install them after downloading.

### 3. Disable Windows Automatic Driver Updates
- Sometimes Windows may override your drivers with generic ones. You can disable this automatic update feature:
1. Right-click Start and select System.
2. Click on Advanced system settings.
3. In the Hardware tab, click Device Installation Settings.
4. Choose No (your device might not work as expected) and save changes.

### 4. Check Device Manager
- Open Device Manager:
- Right-click on the Start button and select Device Manager.
- Look for your XP Pen tablet in the list (it might be under "Human Interface Devices").
- If it shows with an error or as a generic device, right-click and try updating the driver or uninstall it. When you restart your computer, it should recognize the tablet again.

### 5. Surface Control Settings
- Ensure that your tablet settings within the XP Pen software are configured correctly for Sketchbook. Sometimes, profile settings in the tablet software can lead to unexpected behavior in applications.

### 6. Test in Different Software
- Try using your tablet in other applications like Paint or any other drawing software. This helps determine if the issue is isolated to Sketchbook or if it's a broader issue.

If you go through these steps and are still having trouble, it may be worth checking for support directly from XP Pen or considering higher-level support from Sketchbook by emailing [email protected].
