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

    There are hundreds of flags. None of them even mentions ink or pen. So please explaine how to in detail. 

    To that I might add: Seriously....what is the matter with all these big companies? Is there nobody there who can reason? You know, draw easy conclusions like 2+2=4.?

    If you launch an expensive product with a feature as a sales argument....WHY do you remove the feature BEFORE you have a substitute ready? That is called stealing in plane english. You even made it impossible to roll back to the old Edge to make things extra irritating and troublesome.

    No average person bothers with devs and experimental, unstable and unsecure versions. I want what I have payed for.

    Alright, no worries.

    Part 1:

    1. Open edge://flags
    2. Search for Experimental web platform flag.
    3. Enable the same.
    4. Restart the browser.

    Part 2:

    1. After that, press Ctrl+Shift+S to open web capture.
    2. Capture the part of the screen you want to ink.

    Click Add notes which would allow you to Draw/add notes.

    Exactly, especially when the pen had been active and in use for 2 years. For sknw reason this update disnt edfect surface users but only users with non surface windows laptops. Why sell a function you obsolete with an update.

    unfathomabl. My Hp Spextre cost as much as Surface if not more than moat with HP is now rensered uselss.

    if I want to capture a web page I would have used another application. I want.to be able to show in real time my Web page to students (online teaching) and hi-lite or comment  to what is in the page. Your produre is not suitable (score 0 out of 10, sorry). I am worried by your self confidence. Please give back the inking feature as had been given before. Regards, Benny Hardjono - Computer Science Lecturer & programmer. (just Google me)
