I have the recent spectre x360 15 ch0xx model with the HP Tilt Pen. I have difficulty with the HP Tilt Pen in Windows 10 1803;
Please instruct me how to get and adjust:
a) TILT functionality
b) PRESSURE sensitivity (in programs like Inkscape, Gimp, Krita, older versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Coreldraw etc)

Aditional information:
a) The TILT functionality worked only once. Random try. Read somewhere that the screen needs to be layed flat and it worked only with the pencil tool in Windows Ink. Cannot reproduce since. (Added the bluetooth device, paired it, turned on, installed the HP Tilt Pen Driver (Windows 10 v1803) 1.0.0.6 Rev.A.)
b) The pressure sensitivity is not present in graphics applications like Inkscape, Gimp, Krita, older versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Coreldraw. eg in Inkscape finger, mouse, passive pen, produce the same result as HP TILT PEN. In other software experience varies. In Illustrator one has to bring the HP tilt pen to the screen wait some considerable time until a circle appears and only then one can draw but without pressure sensitivity.
c) In the presentation mode the pointer is difficult to control. Flies from one side to the other. Holding the button in the 12 o'clock position seems to help a little.
d) The blue diode is very difficult to see (green, red, and white seem fine). Have to open to make sure it is on or off. It helps if it is dark rather than sunny.
