Wacom Tablet issues with Tahoe

My Wacom tablet worked well with Sonoma and Sequoia, fully functional. But after downloading and installing macOS 26 Tahoe, it's no longer hitting all the bases. Some of my colleagues on the Wacom support page are experiencing the same woes, albeit with different connectivity issues. Their's may be with connectivity problems within the confines of System Settings, such as trying to click "Network". My issues center around Bluetooth.


Like everyone with a Wacom product (and there are several different Wacom products affected by this), we've been waiting for Wacom to make a new driver available to work with Tahoe, and on or around September 20, they did, and we all downloaded and installed it. I even reinstalled it today and restarted my M1 iMac, because when I went to the pull-down controls menu to check on the Bluetooth battery levels on my mouse and keyboard, there was no connectivity with Bluetooth. The mouse works fine, but not the tablet/pen.


We're all waiting for Apple to address this, because it's apparently not the Wacom driver. Whatever worked with Sonoma and Sequoia is missing with Tahoe.

Daveed— It was the Wacom driver all along. Wacom finally delivered version (6.4.11-2.dmg) which solved my issues completely, and maybe yours, too.

Addendum to my post from yesterday—


It's not Bluetooth specifically that's my issue. When I use the Wacom pen to click on and open any of the pull-down menu items, they open fine. But the connectivity stops there, meaning when I have the control menu open, none of the items—not the wi-fi, Bluetooth, AirDrop, etc. buttons connect, with the exception of the bottom two sliders—display and sound. Those two work with the Wacom pen. Also not connecting are the alerts for external drives: I can't shut them off with the pen.
