    Windows Ink Sketchpad - Not able to switch windows. Sketchpad disappears.

    Hi Chetan Agrawal,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I can understand the situation must be difficult for you, when there is a need to switch between multiple applications.
    Based on your question, we have tried simulating the issue on our system and we came across the same results. This is because, Windows ink sketchpad is not an application, but it’s a feature
    of Windows ink workspace.

    However, I have researched on the issue and found a workaround to open sketchpad directly using shortcut keys.
    Please follow the steps mentioned below to achieve the same:

    • Tap on Windows &
      W key at the same time on the keyboard. This will bring up the Windows Ink workspace window.
    • Now, click on Tab key to highlight the sketchpad feature on Windows ink workspace and hit enter. This will bring back the sketchpad window you were working on.

    Hope it helps.

    sketchpad

    Hi Ashlynn

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    The sketchpad in Windows Ink feature is a blank slate for you to draw whatever you want. Any sketchpad drawing you create is saved as a PNG file. Currently, there is no option to search just for a sketchpad drawing or a way to recover sketchpad drawings that
    were not saved.

    We recommend saving the file on a specific folder on your computer to help organize your sketchpad drawings.

    Did you look in the Pictures folder if it might be there.

    Recovering sketchpad drawings

    I create a few sketchpad drawings but am not sure if I saved them, Is there a way to search for just sketchpad drawings and/or is there a way to recover sketchpad drawings that were not saved?
