Wintab driver, possibly? This troubleshoot looks like Photoshop CC might have Surface Pro 3 support built in, though.

I think the following would apply to Krita as well. And you can download wintab driver from n-trig site. http://www.n-trig.com/downloads-drivers/
"General direction for Wintab pressure sensitivity (Surface Pro 3).
Other apps, like Corel Draw and earlier versions of Photoshop, use a Wintab driver to detect pressure. If you have Surface Pro 3 and want to use pressure sensitivity with these apps, install the N-trig Wintab driver for Surface Pro 3."

From what I gathered photoshop cc uses tablet pc drivers - rather than wintab for devices on the surface pro. Much the same as manga studio 5. So perhaps it's something on that end Somehow?

Well, yes, it makes it all the more mysterious. I had already installed the n-trig wintab driver, and that worked fine until I got some Windows updates... Then the driver only worked with the x86 version of Krita. Until I got some Windows updates... Then the driver didn't work at all anymore with Krita. Then I installed Photoshop CC trial, which is said to work with eInk now, not Wintab, but _that_ fixed tablet support for Krita! I wonder what'll happen during the next patch Tuesday!

... And it works!!
Thanks for the solution

I'm still having the pressure sensitivity problem on my Surface Pro 3 for Krita Gemini through Steam. I downloaded Photoshop CC but I already have a subscription to it (I know it doesn't make much sense but I like Krita better) and the problem has not resolved. I even restarted my Surface Pro. Do I need to log out of Steam? Restart again? Get some extension that I'm not aware of? What?

~****; I downloaded that wintab driver, it fixed the pressure sensitivity but the cursor is 2 inches off towards the upper left from the pen point. Thinking I should just download the free version again...

Confirmed, after hours of restarting and installing wintab ntrig drivers.
Installing Photoshop somehow allowed Krita to gain pressure sensitivity.
