There are two ways to update your Wacom drivers: manually and automatically.

Manually update the driver: You should go to the Wacom's website, find the latest version of the driver and install it in your computer. Ensure to download the latest correct driver that is compatible with your computer operating system. This requires time and computer skills.

Automatically update the driver: If you don't have time or patience, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.
