Sketchpad has completely disappeared from Ink Workspace

Agreed.

Same thing happened with me! Microsoft please fix this! I don’t want to have to roll back the update just to get this one feature back. It seems like this must be a glitch.

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:

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...

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?

I Have Not tried the new White Board. I believe you need to download it by clicking on the White Board that you see in your image.

I Hope This Helps
