Problems using a Wacom tablet

Question

Split from this thread.

So I'm also using a graphics tablet (Wacom Intuos5) and have only started getting real problems on all Office365 applications once I've updated to Windows10. The only fix that I've been able to find was 1) Buy a new graphics tablet (because us creatives all have spare cash lying about) or 2) Uninstall the graphics tablet driver and reinstall an older version (which is impossible since it's no longer available to download off the Wacom site) and 3) If you're using an MS Office application, go old-school and plug in a mouse (I'm about to try #3 - after which I'll sell my car and get myself a horse-drawn cart, since it seems we're devolvng here...)

Any advice on when there will be a realistic fix??

My issues in a nutshell:

• When using my Wacom pen/tablet in Office Excel, it completely crashes my entire system (where I need to do a hard reboot of my laptiop) 

The "draw" default is extremely annoying, but if Microsoft are incapable of fixing that, one can at least still work on the application.

• When using my Wacom pen/tablet in Office Windows, the "insert" functions don't function
• Right-clicking is sticky on Outlook
