Solved Wacom Pen pressure not working with graphic softwares

[SOLVED] Wacom Pen CTL-460/K pressure not working in Windows 7

(check last part of the post for the solution I found, after :EDIT
I noticed there's something wrong in a Wacom Pen tablet (CTL460) I just bought.
It's recognized and working as regards pointing and click, on windows panel it also shows it's pressure-sensitive
but on other programs like MyPaint and Gimp, the pen is not pressure-sensitive.
I tried many options including enabling/disabling Input service and the drivers are official Wacom and updated, last available (while the preferences program works but the properties program doesn't, which is also very weird).
I also stopped and disabled previous graphic tablet services (Huion tablet, which worked properly), but to no avail.
So anyone has figured out how to solve this?

Here's a pic of the windows tablet commands program that shows that the graphic tablet is pressure sensitive and OK, while just graphics program (Gimp, MyPaint, Photoshop and Krita, so far...) don't recognize such feature correctly, and I don't know why tbh.

Also, when I launch wacom tablet properties it tells me it's not recognized


While it appears correctly on Windows devices list



:EDIT:
So, thanks to some luck and an advice from a Wacom employee, I found out how to solve it :
1. Under Power Options of Windows (the panel for energy saving settings), disable USB automatic deactivation as said here Disable USB Power Management on Windows 7 Machines
2. Uninstall ALL previously installed Wacom drivers (I did it both from Windows installed program list and with CCCleanear), some wacom system files still appear in Windows folder directory but this was not relevant.
3. Reboot
4. Install the 5.3.5-3 driver, you can find it on Wacom's official website under "previous versions" link (drivers). The tablet must be unplugged, even if the installer says "no wireless tablet was found" or something.
5. Reboot (even if not prompted at the end of the installer)
6. Plug the tablet.

Not all software is compatable with pressure

Not all software is compatable with pressure

Usually, the ones I mentioned are compatible with pressure, or they are especially developed for such feature as they're digital painting programs like Gimp, Krita, MyPaint, Photoshop (probably even latest MS Paint versions feauture that, I haven't tried).

Anyway I've just done a fresh format / install of Windows 7 Ultimate (previously I had Pro SP1), I'll let you know if the new update has solved anything (currently too busy doing basic setups...).

:edit: Nope, I messed so much things, I cleanly reinstalled W7, and still the same problem. Not even on Reddit's wacom page they told me anything I didn't know already, so let's just hope their customer support will respond to my email request. Honestly, they make really bad installers that can mess up the system as they don't check if previous or newer drivers are already installed and when you've installed too many of them just to be sure, they make your OS crash. Really disappointing. I bet they will just tell me "buy a new one", lol. Yay for consummerism that makes the economy spin. Old things still work? "not our problem, we're here to sell"...

K, I've found the solution, editing 1st post so anybody else with the same problem can be helped (hopefully, as anything goes).
