After resume PC (Win 10 x64, latest drivers) from standby my Wacom 5.1 L's preferences - especially mapping area - are almost always reset to full area.
The only solution to restore proper area settings I have found is unplug and replug tablet.
But I afraid that mini-USB socket in tablet after hundreds or thousands of replugs after each computer resume will damaged this socket and make tablet completely unusable. In fact it becomes more loosy month after month.
So question is:
1. there is a way do do some kind of full initialization tablet settings after resume?
OR
2. there is a way to reload tablet settings (by e.g PrefUtil.exe) from command line, so I can run script on system's resume event?
OR
3. Other solution to solve this annoyance?

Area settings always reset after PC resume
Re: Area settings always reset after PC resume
If you saved the setting in a file, just doubleclick this file and confirm, that you want to restore settings. Running prefutils with the filename should also work.
Re: Area settings always reset after PC resume
Launching saved *.wacomprefs file indeed works (there is only one confirmation dialog to click). Thanks.
It would be great if there will be possible any "quiet" (non-interaction) option.
But running didn't work - this display its normal PrefUtil's GUI with 5 buttons to backup/restore/delete/exit.

I reverse engineered this little piece of s***.
To restore tablet's settings silently without interaction anyone should execute:
There are also other command line parameters for PrefUtil:

Thank you in advance.
