Seemingly Random Sculpting Malfunctions

I am sometimes unable to sculpt at all (the brush has no effect) or I can sculpt, but pen pressure is non-functional. Eventually, after a few computer restarts (giving up for a day or two), it works again. Then it is only a matter of time before these problems repeat.

I am 80% sure that this is an incompetency issue on my part. I am doing something that I am not noticing, but I can’t figure it out. I have a hard time believing this could be the result of sloppy programming. Pen pressure is fully functional in the Veikk configuration utility.

Blender Version: 2.83.4

OS: Windows 10

Tablet: Veikk A15

I have tried:

Checking that the object is selected

Checking that there are no modifiers

Reinstalling Blender

Reinstalling my tablet drivers and configuration utility

Plugging in the tablet BEFORE starting Blender

Plugging in the tablet AFTER starting Blender

Hey, I don’t think this is gonna work but its easy enough to try.

With the pen in the 3d view unplug and plug the tablet

This bug report was for x windows but maybe its similar.

Unplugging and plugging the tablet had no effect.
