Hey i too have that same problem and i am using active stylus. I've wasted so much time but i couldn't find a solution and hp support cannot understand this and still thinks this as a simple issue, many are facing the same issue. Quality assurance on hp spectre series sucks despite of such a high price tag.

Hey there! @Sravan18, Welcome to HP forums.

 

I understand you have issues drawing a straight line using the active stylus. 

 

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

 

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?

 

Please share the product number and operating system you are running on your PC to assist you better.

 

If the pen does not write consistently while your fist or palm is touching the screen, make sure the pen tip is 5mm or farther from the point where your hand is contacting the screen.

 

Try few troubleshooting steps below and check if it helps.

 

Reinstall the original touchscreen device driver that came installed on your computer using the following steps:


1. In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.


2. Expand the Human Interface Devices heading.


3.The touchscreen device is labeled HID-compliant touch screen, or similar. Right-click the touchscreen device and select Uninstall.

 

4. Confirm the uninstallation.


5. Restart the computer to reinstall the touchscreen driver.
 

Also, update the BIOS and graphics driver on your PC and check if it helps.

 

You can try updating the drivers using HP support assistant.

 

Refer this article to know more information about using HP support assistant.
