I had this problem too but noticed the keys I hit as the pen tools greyed out. The keys were Windows Key + V. Once I hit these again I was able to use the pen tools

All of a sudden, ;the pen selection tool in onenote is greyed out. I can
still ink and change colors with the color selector and even change the line
weight, but I cannot select pens. I have done some searching and this is not a
wholly unique problem but I have not found a solution that works for me yet.
So far I have:
1). Uninstalled and reinstalled onenote (w/reboot in between, I could
uninstall office all together but I' am trying to avoid that)
2) done a copy and register of several .dlls; inkdiv, inkobj,tpcps, and
rtscom.
I have not done anything to my machine that explains this. No updates not
installs of anything. This feature just crapped out.

All of the pens under the Draw tab in OneNote 2010 TP greyed out. I can
still write in black; however I can not change color or thickness. This seems
to have randomly occurred as my last update was almost a week ago on the Nov
4. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling office 2010 TP; however, the
pens are stilled greyed out. Does anybody know how to fix this problem.
Thanks.

I just wanted everyone to know that the new beta version of Office 2010 did
not fix the greyed out pens problem under the Draw menu of OneNote. All of
the pens under the Draw tab in OneNote 2010 Beta are stilled greyed out
immediately after a fresh installation of office. I can
still write in black; however I can not change color or thickness. Any help
with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

then I must tap the pen button after wards to get my pen back

2) Fingerprint Sensor

I think this is everything. Let me know if you need to know something else
