Good evening.

After this last updating of Microsoft Edge, the pen icon is missing. I like to save and write on my Web pages. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Thank you

    It is 100% true. The pen and screen grab/cut/paste feature is gone. 

    There are very clumsy work arounds with adobe and other stuff but for the time being, I am using a plug in on chrome and it works good.

    I feel exactly the same as you. And here I have hours of my time getting used to Edge and moving things over from Chrome and I went to find my pen and now here I am! What a waste of my time! I am going to go to a Non Microsoft page. I am frustrated.

    My HP Pen does not work in edge any more. I have recently read that newest version of  Edge does not support the pen. Is this true. There must be a workaround or a way to go back to previous browser..

    How about some help from Microsoft on this issue.

    Why would this happen when so many surfaces and HP laptops have been sold with this function. I have been using the pen for 3 years on my HP Spectre 360.

    HELP Please. thanks

    Hi Sumit,

    I have to agree with everyone in this thread. The pen function was great and it being gone has a negative effect on my work. Thanks so much for bringing it back.

    Have they brought it back now? 

    Nope, still no pen/inking support. They will tell you... well, you can ink on a pdf! But that's not what we want. We want what we already had in Edge before! Just bring it back! Better yet, just reactive the original Edge Browser (Legacy Edge).

    I don't know why they call it Legacy Edge when there is no way to actually download "Legacy Edge".
