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 think this is the best answer to the question. Let them know.

    I never used sketchpad before so I don't know what is different in Snip & Sketch..

    Sketchpad is a blank full screen, clean and save your ram, fantastic open speed. excelent for quick explanations and drawings in work, school and home. simple like a pen and paper. i love sketchpad, but my surface pro 2017 is a trash now because MS just discontinued something as good, and **** like netflix, hulu and little games automatically install on my device!

    I uninstalled some of latest windows 10 1903 version updates and had the old version of windows ink space back. But the main issue I am experiencing is that screen sketch has been replaced with snip and sketch. Is there anyway I can have screen sketch back?

    If this was caused by Windows Update(s) then you can check which were installed at Settings>Update & Security>Windows Update under Update History, then uninstall them from the link there, and immediately check for these again and hide with the Hide Updates tool explained here: https://www.howtogeek.com/223864/how-to-uninsta...

    You can also use System Restore to get before the problem began, then check for Updates with the Hide Update tool and hide them: http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/computing/how-t...

    If this was caused by a Version Update then for 10 days you can roll it back in Settings>Update & Security>Recovery and then hide it until it matures using the Hide Updates Tool which is explained more here:

    https://www.howtogeek.com/223864/how-to-uninsta....

    After 10 days you can reinstall the older version using downloads available from Microsoft TechBench here: https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php

    Burn to DVD using WIndows Image Burner or create bootable flash using one of the options here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2376-create...
