Having trouble with your Huion GT 220 V2 pen? Here’s a troubleshooting guide to get it working again.

2. Click on the “Start” button in the taskbar and select “Restart” from the options.
3. Wait for your computer to shut down and restart.
Once your computer has restarted, follow these steps to check for any damage:
1. Check the USB connection: Ensure that the USB cable connecting your Huion GT 220 V2 to your computer is securely plugged in. If it’s loose, unplug and reconnect it firmly.
