Wacom is a Japanese technology company that mainly specializes in developing, manufacture and sale of graphic tablets. To connect a Wacom tablet to a Windows computer and be able to access the Wacom tablet and its content from the Windows computer, the drivers for that specific Wacom tablet must be installed on the computer. Drivers for Wacom tablets are available on the Internet and are almost always shipped with all Wacom tablets sold for the consumer's sake.. This being the case, installing Wacom drivers on a Windows computer is not an exact science and is quite easy.
However, it's a bit more difficult to uninstall Wacom drivers from a Windows computer. The thing is, Wacom tablet drivers tend to hide around a computer once they've been installed on it., making it difficult for users to locate them and a person can't uninstall something they can't even find in the first place. However, if you have Wacom drivers on your Windows computer that you want to uninstall, do not worry, this is exactly what a person should do to uninstall Wacom drivers from a Windows computer:
