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?

    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

    If My Reply Answered Your Question, Please Mark It Answered. Thank-You

    White Board is NOT a good replacement for sketch pad sketchpad was easy to use white board is not! Please bring back sketchpad.

    Take a look at Scrble, people! It's pretty good. A bit closer to Sketchpad than Inkodo

    I rolled back the major update after I realized what it did to sketchpad. Luckily it was less than 10 days after I installed it.

    Hi, just bough a new HP ENVY and was happily doodling along on the sketch pad, then the pc decided to update. After it ran the update, boom, no sketchpad, just a dumb snippy thing and an option to download a whiteboard. I really don't like it. So, you think I can uninstall the update that just ran?
