Tilt pen functionality not working with Envy x360 15z

[tjbassoon]

I just got a new Envy x360 15z (cp0xxxx I think) with an HP Tilt Pen. I cannot get the tilt functionaltiy to work. I have followed this thread: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Video-Display-and-Touch/HP-Spectre-and-HP-Tilt-pen-tilt-funct... and installed the drivers as listed there, which correspond to my device. When I use the Windows Sketchpad app to test the pen, it does not show any change in drawing regardless of the orientation of the pen or the laptop itself (or if it's in tablet mode or not). Definitely nothing like what happens in that video happens for me.

I can put the pen in presentation mode and the cursor moves around when the orientation of the pen, so that seems to work. Although the cursor moves VERY fast in presentation mode. Totally unusable as a cursor. A tiny movement moves it quite a bit. Maybe this can be adjusted... anyway.

But in drawing the tilting function still doesn't work, even after installing the drivers pointed at in the solution in the above linked post. Any thoughts?

Edit, I just noticed that Windows Defender considers the EZTiltPen driver software from the HP download linked in that thread to be a serious Trojan and blocks it. What's up with that?

OK. I managed to solve my problem, and it's a result of WIndows Defender Anti-Virus flagging a false positive on the driver in the link. After restoring the files and allowing them to run on the computer, I went into C:\program files\ELAN\EZTiltPen and rand the installer exe in that directory. That created another file called EZTiltPenAgent.exe, which I then ran. After following those steps, the tilt function is working in the Windows Ink apps that support it.

HP should look into the false positive virus flag in their file, as I bet others will have similar problems.
