HP Envy x360 -packaged HP Pen NOT WORKING

[Evan-Liebert1]

Model: HP ENVY x360 Laptop - 13-ay0008ca

Everything has been recently updated as much as possible. I literally just bought the thing a week ago and it CAME with an HP Pen in the package box. I didn't bother with it because I was intending on only using the laptop for work.

The touch screen works fine with my fingers.  The HP Pen manual said I only had to add the battery it came with and to press it against the screen and have it magically work. I tinkered with the HP Pen app that came pre-installed into the laptop, among the other countless Pen-related settings in the Control Panel options. 

Nothing works. I've tried switching batteries. 

Am I missing something else or was I literally sold a defective product?

Pardon if this comes off rude, but did you even actually read the entirety of my post? 

This 2-week old laptop came pre-installed with the HP Pen Control app you haphazardly linked me to download, everything is updated, and I explicitly stated that I tinkered around with all the settings there. Nothing worked.  It's the most rudimentary 'control app' for a pen/stylus available and I have absolutely no use for an app that allows me to change pen functionality for a pen that DOESN'T REGISTER  in the first place (all the while my fingers work perfectly fine).
