The Microsoft-Windows-TwinUI component specifies advanced pen settings.

Ink Workspace

All of Windows Ink Workspace is available above lock. This functionality is off by default for privacy reasons; it is under the control of Windows customers. Once turned on via Settings, the user can utilize pen click functionality to launch Ink Workspace or any of its experiences directly depending on how they have configured their pen clicks. By default on a new system, it is:

  • Single click – Ink Workspace Home
  • Double click – Screen Sketch
  • Press and Hold (only supported on some pens) – Sticky Notes
