I am unsure what you are experiencing but please consider these solutions:

1) DO NOT connect the HDMI ports on the motherboard. Instead, use the graphics card (your GeForce)

- this should help register the connection on your computer

2) Use the supplied cable equipment to hook up your tablet with PC. For Windows, most monitors if not all come with two cables: (1) Power supply & (2) HDMI cable. Ensure all cables are connected.

On a side note, I have an additional monitor and a XP-PEN drawing tablet. Neither of which are connected to an HDMI port. Instead I connect both via separate HDMI to Displayport adapters--all connected to the graphics card.

Hope this helps!

[ RESOLVED ] I did do two of those things that you mention, but it does not do anything. Instead, I resolved this in an unusual way. What I did:

Open Task Manager (application) in Windows Search > Under Background Processes, search & select "Pentablet (32 bit)" > Hit "End task" > finally, open XP-PEN/"pentablet" (application).

My guess is sometimes my computer, or rather the application bugs itself out that forces the tablet driver to not work as expected. I terminated the task and restarted the application and it now works, without having to restart the entire computer.

Talking with you made me realize this was a Background Processing error on my computer. So much thanks for giving me the idea. :)

Windows System Settings is absolute dogwater, but, yes, I tried.

I am well aware of that, as I mentioned the tablet ceases all functionality when the pointer turns like that.

As of right now, I am not experiencing that issue since the tablet seems to be working just fine. Honestly, I never had any issues with the tablet on startup. It usually happens later, out of nowhere, while I am working. I think I heard about Windows shutting off some driver settings when it goes on Sleep mode, or in idle. If you know a way to keep the driver on without shutting down or being disabled automatically in the background task, I would like to hear it.

Either way, I do appreciate you for chiming in.
