I got my HP Tilt pen with my HP Envy X360 13 a week ago. The pen is nice and all, but when drawing or using it in general, the pen just stops drawing. The pen won't draw and the pen cursor doesn't show up when placing it on the screen. the buttons still work, but the pen itself just stops working. I've made sure that its not in presentation mode, so i know it isn't that. Eventually, it will start working again. I'm not sure if this is a software issue or a malfunction with the pen itself. So i'm asking the community what could be wrong with it, or what i could be doing wrong.
