Wacom intuos and strange artifacts

When drawing with a wacom tablet, I get strange ‘horn’ like artifacts. What could the problem be?

@Didi - Can you provide an example screenshot?

I hope it is clear, I was drawing only spirals, these spikes just keep showing up, doesn’t matter which brush:

I have the same problem. Miro is adding "horns" or "spikes" to my pen strokes; see the attached picture.

Here is some information for diagnostic purposes.

I'm using a Wacom Intuos drawing tablet, small size.
There are no spikes when I use my tablet in any drawing program or other website (including AWW App). It seems specific to Miro.
My colleagues using Miro with other tablets are not experiencing the spikes. It might be a compatibility issue with the Wacom tablet.
The problem is MUCH worse when I'm sharing my screen on Zoom, to the point of being unusable.
The problem is somewhat worse when someone else is sharing their screen on Zoom, or when several users are writing on the whiteboard simultaneously.
I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, running Windows 10.
I played around with the tablet settings, cleaned the tablet, and replaced the stylus tip, none of which helped.

Any idea how to fix the problem? Suggestions are much appreciated.
