Sketchpad has completely disappeared from Ink Workspace

I have tried rebooting and turning Ink workspace on and off from settings and taskbar. It is only showing me Whiteboard and Fullscreen snip. Did Windows do away with sketchpad, forcing me to login with a Windows ID to use Whiteboard? Or is this a bug from a recent update? Or is there anything else I can try?

    We can still tell MicroSoft to bring the Sketchpad back by simply give them a feedback .

    I went to “manage updates” and deleted the one from 8/15. After restart, Windows Ink Workspace is now back to normal with the large icons stacked on one another. 

    Hopefully there will be another update soon with a fix. 

    Hope this helps!

    After restoring windows for my surface book it happened to me as well. The new version of windows ink space is useless; sketchpad is vital to me and I am asking if there is any way to bring it back to the windows ink space. The new alternative, snip & sketch is not comparable to sketchpad in terms of feasibility!
