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?

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

    Thanks for the tip. I wasn't really wanting to bother rolling back, but I'll consider it. 

    However, I read in some other sites online that they did in fact remove the functionality of the old Ink Workstation in favor of this new, more minimalist approach. Sticky Notes is still there, too. 

    You just don't see it on the Ink Workstation. It's kind of a bummer, but oh well. 

    I really don't know who thinks these types of changes are a good idea.

    This information is not helpful, as the post it and sketch pad options are no longer offered, just whiteboard and snip
