Ironically, I only posted here because the feedback hub post I made didn't have nearly enough details due to the character limit, and it didn't get any replies from microsoft. 

The link is here. 

Thanks again.

Thank you for providing the feedback link. Our software engineers already got your feedback. We'll follow this up with them, and we also suggest checking your feedback item from time to time to see the status.

 

Regards.

Wacom had a driver update on 2/22/18. However, I'm still having these same issues. Nothing has changed. There have been no updates or follow-up with engineers or developers here or on the feedback hub-- I haven't been able to do my work in two months now. I've tried everything aside from buying a new tablet outright. 

If there's anything I can do or try, or some sort of update, please let me know. :(

If you pay attention to any forums, Micro$oft has completely ruined graphic tablet response, precision and dependability across the board,  and hasn't done squat about it for 4 or so months now. Its gone so far as to disrupt functionality of their own surface pro line without a fix, and sparking "flickergate" so it's clear that they don't care at this point. 

Oh, but everything works GREAT with affiliated software designed just for windows 10 exclusively... but if you're like me, and already spent a few grand on versions of photoshop and manga studio, your ONLY option thus far is to roll back to an earlier build. 

I have a lot of money invested into my artwork, and my stuff does exactly what you describe and more, in photoshop, illustrator, and Manga Studio EX 5, with a Dell Canvas 27 and a Wacom Cintiq 12 inch. By Odin's Beard, the bloody Dell Canvas WAS CREATED FOR THE UPDATE AND THEY STILL BORKED IT!!!

They dont get (dont care?) that the "CREATOR'S" update has done exactly the opposite of what its namesake implies. 

We're not the only artists losing money, and it needs to change before someone out there gets lawyers involved.

Just an addition, to make matters worse Microsoft has apparently spent alot of time making it increasingly difficult to find .iso files of 1703 creator's update Windows, instead of working on 1709 Fall update crippling issues. much like a hard dump, there's a real push for this turd.

I've seriously looked everywhere and tried everything. I can't believe how much I've come to regret building a new pc. I can't roll back the updates, so I guess I'm just screwed for now :(

I've contacted windows support on twitter. I'll let you know if they tell me anything of value there or anywhere else. 
It's the least I can do for another artist. Solidarity, man :(

Hey. Just a small update. I've purchased a brand new tablet (Wacom BT M) in the hope that it was just my old tablet butting heads with the new "functionalities". 
I'm having the same exact problems that I've had with my old tablet! I've also tried switching the tablet's connection between USB 2.0, 3.0, and Bluetooth, as well as checking for latency issues. No dice. Needless to say, this has driven me to a near-madness.

But it seems hope is not lost-- there was a slight tablet functionality tweak in the latest Cumulative update (I'm updating right now! really hope I can finally be done with this nonsense!) and I've also heard whispers from some windows beta testers of a Spring Creator's Update that fixes the tablet issues.

Still, I'm very disappointed with the lack of real response from Microsoft. I've gone through three of their support systems and have gotten the same stock answers.
The Microsoft support twitter kept deflecting me to the phone line that costs money, THEY DELETED MY FEEDBACK HUB POST, and this forum has been completely silent. I am beyond angry at this level of "support".

I haven't been able to draw in >3 months now and I've been forced to find another method of making extra cash. This has directly impacted my livelihood and I don't know what to do now other than wait for an update that may or may not exist.

As always, if anyone has any new troubleshooting ideas, I'd really love to hear any and all of them. Thanks.

May we know what is the current Windows version and build of your device. This is information is vital in isolating the issue. To get the details go to Start > Settings > System > About.

Regards.

I've had the same exact "hitching" problem in Sai, after having to reinstall my entire OS after it got corrupted (thanks, Microsoft), I was forcibly given the Creators Update and I had no way to roll back. However, with some messing around, I managed to get a solution that works in both Sai and Sai 2. I'm not sure if everything I did is necessarily how the problem was solved, but I'm adding it all here just in case.

For starters, I fully updated Windows 10. There was apparently a small patch that I was lacking, and I installed that. (This seemed to be the thing that ultimately fixed it, at least for me.)

I also added something to the registry which is supposedly supposed to undo all the Windows Ink functions. It can be found here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Windowsink/comments/8508fi/controlling_pen_behavior_in_windows_10/dxb6mxj/
Open your command prompt, copy and paste the command. Apparently you are supposed to restart after adding this, but I'm not sure it's necessary or not. 

And then for good measure, I disabled Windows Ink for Sai in the Wacom Properties and also changed my pen tablet control within Sai. You want it to be set to "Use WinTab API) instead of TabletPC API. Depending on what version of Sai you have, this may or may not be an option. For example, I don't have this option in my old Sai but I do on Sai2. Either way, it worked for both versions when I tested them. 
To change this, in Sai, go to Help > Options, and it will probably be under the Pen Tablet tab or something similar.

Hopefully this helps!
