Hi @Sc1r0cc0 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

Thanks for explaining that so clearly. It’s genuinely frustrating not to find the tools or guidance to make the most of it—especially when the pen is meant to elevate your experience.

 

Here’s a structured guide to help you get your HP Tilt Pen up and running smoothly with your Envy x360:

 

Setup and Pairing Instructions

1. Charge the Pen

  • Twist the pen to unlock and expose the USB-C charging port.
  • Plug it in using a USB-C cable.
  • A white LED will illuminate while charging.
  • Allow up to 1 hour for a full charge.

 

2. Pair via Bluetooth

  • Press and hold the top button on the pen for 3 seconds until the LED turns solid blue.
  • On your laptop:
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Add device > Bluetooth
    Select HP Tilt Pen from the list and complete pairing.

 

3. Customize Pen Settings

  • Open Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Pen & Windows Ink
  • From here, you can:
    • Choose your writing hand
    • Enable or disable visual effects and cursor
    • Set pen shortcuts (e.g., single-click, double-click, press-and-hold actions)

If your pen supports additional customization, it will be reflected in this menu. Windows 11 integrates most pen controls natively, so a separate HP Pen Control app may not be required for basic functionality.

 

Official Setup Guide

You can find full instructions and visuals in HP’s official documentation:

Let me know how it goes—I’ll guide you further if needed. You're not alone in this.
