Where Are Windows Ink Workspace Settings Stored?
Windows Ink Workspace pen settings on Windows, where click shortcuts and handwriting options live.
Last updated
Windows Ink settings live under Bluetooth and devices for Pen, plus Personalization for taskbar pen menu options. Click shortcuts, handwriting panels and workspace suggestions all configure there.
There is no single Ink folder to back up. Shortcuts bind to apps like Snipping Tool and Whiteboard. After major updates, revisit the pen pages since assignments drift.
Where Windows stores this, by platform
Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Pen & Windows Ink
Set pen click actions and handwriting options here. Add the pen menu to the taskbar under Personalization > Taskbar for one click access.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my pen button stop opening Screen Sketch?
Open the same Pen settings page and check Click once, Double click and Press and hold assignments. App updates sometimes reset them to defaults.
Can I add my drawing app to the pen menu?
Yes. Turn on Show recommended app suggestions or open apps from the pen menu manually. The workspace is a launcher, not a separate app to install.
