Intuos Pro turns off

[GushingDizzy]

My new Intuos Pro tablet keeps turning itself off if I don't use it for several minutes. I do expect this when it's using BlueTooth, but this is happening when it's plugged. And often when I turn it back on (or plug it back in if it was on BlueTooth) it isn't recognized as a Wacom tablet, just as a generic pointing device.

Hello,
Sounds like a connection issue. try a different cable / USB port.

This definitely isn't a connection issue, because the tablet charges when it's plugged in. I've tried different cables, and the same thing happens. And it seems that I can turn it back on successfully three times, but the fourth time the Wacom driver won't recognize it, forcing me to reboot my computer to get it working again.

Power and data are transferred through different wires inside the cable. Just because you get power, doesn't mean there is no connection issue and the the data is being properly transmitted.
There might also be an issue with the OS or the USB ports in your computer. Are you using Mac or Windows? Have you installed all the latest updates?
If using Windows please check the Device Manage when the issue happens to see if Windows is showing something abnormal with the USB driver.

Problem is faulty drivers and Wacom support who ignored my numerous reports regarding this issue which I was having both with BT and USB connection on different PCs (Win10 and Win11)

Please downgrade to the 6.3.41-1 driver and this will solve the problem

Hello, sorry to hear you're having issues with the driver but this advice is not adequate to the problem GushingDizzy is explaining. I do understand your concerns and seems we have not finished answering you so I have answered your original thread here: http://www.forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5090&p=12441#p12441

it is adequate - I have same problem with ALL drivers released after 6.3.41-1 - tablet turns off after period of inactivity or sleep mode and only service restart helps
we should wait to topicstarter to confirm if driver downgrade helps

Thanks for the heads-up on which drivers solved the problem for you. I reverted to 6.3.39-1 and so far it seems to be working for me!

Glad it worked for you
And this is another example how Wacom treat their users when you have to localize and solve problem yourself, while they release buggy drivers without fixing anything we pointed to
