STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I made sure that pen pressure was enabled in Krita's settings.
2. I checked the settings for the tablet I'm using
3. I updated krita 

OBSERVED RESULT
the pen pressure still isn't working even though it definitely should be, since it's enabled. 

EXPECTED RESULT
I expected the pen pressure to work after I tried everything that other people recommended to do in this situation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We can't do anything with so little information you provide. First and all you have to check you have everything in your windows and tablet drivers properly installed. Tablet issues are rarely and issue of krita. Please try reinstalling your tablet drivers and more specifically the next recommendations:

For Windows, all devices:
    Change API in Settings ‣ Configure Krita… ‣ Tablet Settings.
            Wintab: older standard; it supports multiple buttons and high number of pressure levels. If it works fine for you, don’t change to Windows Ink. 2-in-1 devices by default use Windows Ink, you can get a Wintab driver but you need to install it separately.
            Windows 8+ Pointer (Windows Ink): newer standard; it cuts the pressure levels to 1024. It is more suitable for 2-in-1 devices like Surface Pro and Yoga. Some less known brands might not have this standard implemented.

For Windows, tablet/digitizer devices (not convertible/2-in-1 ones):
    Reinstall your driver (Windows Update often breaks tablet driver settings, reinstallation helps).
    Wacom tablets: if you get straight lines at the beginnings of the strokes, first try to update your driver: it should be fixed in 6.3.34-3. If it doesn’t work, disable/minimize “double-click distance” in Wacom settings.
    XP-Pen tablets, pressure being uneven: either switch to Windows 8+ Pointer (Windows Ink) in Configure Krita ‣ Tablet Settings, or disable Windows Ink in XP-Pen settings.

If all this fails please ask around for help in https://krita-artists.org/ before reporting a bug.
