WACOM One just displays Windows Home Screen

I just installed my Wacom One to a Windows machine and the home screen from Windows is all that displays on the tablet...that is, when I open apps on the PC, the Wacom display just sits on the home screen. The tablet recognizes the stylus and when I select things on the tablet with the stylus, the actions take place on the monitor, but not on the tablet display.

I'm using USB A and HDMI inputs (the latter with a dongle into a Display Port.

  Hi Robert Anemone, 

  Thanks for reaching out. From experience, this can happen when Windows is not able to properly make the handshake between the system and the display and doesn't get the EDID data from the display. 

  Please check if you can try a different adapter for the HDMI cable and see if the situation improves. You can also try to force the driver to map to the correct display using the steps here: 
  

  As for what is displayed on the Wacom ONE, that is managed by the operating system. You should be able to use a mouse or trackpad to drag any windows you want to work on to the Wacom One display. 

  If you want, you can also make the Wacom One the main display from the Windows Display settings to make most apps open on the Wacom One by default.
