My pen is connected. If I hold the pen close to the screen, the cursor appears, but when I try to scroll, write, or draw, the settings pop up. It seems that the pen's touch is working as a right click instead of a left click like I want it to.
I've restarted the computer, checked in settings if there is anything I can do, but nothing is working.
