It seems like you are facing an issue with the "Flicks" option in the Pen and Touch settings. When you click on the Flicks option, it only shows the "Pen Options" tab instead of the expected content. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Windows Troubleshoot:​

1. System File Checker (SFC): Run an SFC scan to check for and potentially repair corrupted or missing system files.
2. DISM Tool: Perform a DISM scan and repair process which can help resolve system corruption issues.
