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?

and if anyone wants to know of a decent alternative, there's Inkodo
That looks like it has concepts of "books" and "pages" and other unwanted cruft that makes it slow and difficult to use. Has anyone figured out how to extract Sketchpad and copy it manually forward?

I REALLY want Sketchpad back. Sure, not many people have used it but that's only because it's not discoverable. You have to right click on the taskbar and click on show Windows Ink Workspace and then you can click on the WIW icon and access it from there.
Whiteboard is NOT a replacement and requires you to log into a Microsoft account.
I cannot even uninstall that update anymore. It broke my workflow and I feel so sad. I'm so tired.
Anyone that wants to try, Autodesk has a decent FREE program, SketchBook.
I just put it on. Seems ok.
Hey Microsoft, are you listening?
You screwed up.....AGAIN!
