Photoshop: Wacom tablet annoying Ctrl Alt Shift popups/ Windows Ink loss of pressure sensitivity (Windows 10)

This is what the annoying popup looks like

The solution I found on other forum posts was to install Photoshop CS6 from the Creative Cloud installation options. I'm now using Photoshop CS6 with the "Use Windows Ink" Wacom preference checkmark box unchecked. Pressure sensitivity still works in CS6 without Windows Ink. I'm looking forward to this problem being solved so I can get back to using the latest version of Photoshop CC. Thanks.

Essentially, here's the same forum issue thread I posted on Microsoft's site.

Hooray! The Photoshop CC problem has finally been solved! Follow the instructions in this forum reply:

Basically, you uncheck Windows Ink in the Wacom properties and then you create a quick little .txt file to save in your Photoshop settings which disables the Windows Ink dependency. I am so happy I can use my current version of Photoshop again!

Problems are still there in latest Windows10 and CC2018. Windows Ink is not great. You need to a whole bunch of settings to make wacom pens in photoshop usable, but there is still the issue of the function key popups. And there is no settings to turn those off.

I have no idea who on earth decided that Windows Ink was a good idea as default in Photoshop (it might be fine for the 2 people in the world who use a touch screen for operating Photoshop, but the thousands with pen tablets suffer). It would be very nice if Photoshop added a setting to disable Windows ink (without having to add the custom settings text file workaround).

why can't wacom address this in their install software? This is why I would never buy one of their tablet pcs. Clearly they don't have a clue. I'm guessing they subcontract out the driver development and don't really have a staff to create fixes like this. All the little tweaks you have to do to get rid of the circles and the "alt" text should be a simple question they ask on the install.

It's not a wacom issue, as far as I can tell... it's the fact that Windows is over riding settings in Photoshop for people using Wacom products on PC

Hello. I tried several times and this solution didn't work for me =( do you guys have any updates on the issue?

I'm on Windows 10 (2018 update) Photoshop CC 2018, Wacom Intuos and Cintiq.

There's a box you can uncheck in the Wacom tablet settings that says "Windows Ink".  I was getting the annoying bubble every time I held the tip of the pen down for more than a millisecond.  Unchecking that box made it go away.  Maybe it will work for you, too.  

Still can't find a solution in Photoshop CC 2020 ...why can't Adobe, Wacom and Window get it together to fix this. Surely there are enough people using Photoshop 2020 with Wacom tablets to warrant some effort be put into it.

Here is my situation as of February 2020 (Note: I have spent 4 or more hours searching for a solution and found nothing to fix the ALT, CTRL, SHIFT pop ups).

In order to get Pen Pressure to work in Photoshop CC2020 I have to do the following:

1. Create a txt file with the body of text reading  -   # Use WinTab     UseSystemStylus 1
2. Save the file as PSUsersConfig,txt 
3. Place the file in the following folder   C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020\Adobe Photoshop 2020 Settings
4. Turn on the Windows Ink in my Wacom Tablet properties
5. Now pen pressure works BUT ONCE AGAIN I get the annoying modifier keys popup (Alt, Ctrl, Shift)! Really!!! .
6. I've tried many variations of PSUsersConfig text file, the older version with UseSystemStylus 0, saved with and without the .txt. Spent many, many hours trying to get it to work!
7. I am on Windows Home so going into the gpedit.msc is not an option as it is only available on Windows 10 Pro!  (Mind you that doesn't seem to work for anyone anymore so who knows!)

This has been going on for years and with what we pay for software and hardware it is ridiculous. Oh ...just as a note, my cheap little travel tablet (XP Pen G640) does not have the same problem, I can turn off Windows Ink and still get pen pressure and not get popups and it is 1/3 the cost of my Wacom!!! Come on Wacom/Photoshop!

Yep, I have the same issue. And seeing as this thread has been going for 5 years now since the first post, it makes me wonder when (if?) they'll ever fix this problem. I can get rid of the popups by disabling Windows Ink and using the WinTab fix, but then I encounter another issue. When using the lasso tool, when I press space bar (to enable the move tool whilst selecting) the lasso tool remains and the hand tool does not appear / work. So now I need to decide which is more important to me - being able to use the hand tool while selecting or pen sensitivity. Or if I choose to have both of these, then I need to put up with the annoying ctrl / shift / alt popups. This is a choice that I should not have to make. I pay my Creative Cloud fees every year and expect the developers to at least fix this issue that is clearly not a new one and yet very common.
