Windows 10: Can sticky notes be retrieved after app has been reset?

I accidentally reset my sticky notes app and lost all the notes I had.


I do not have any backups, previous versions, and am not logged in to Microsoft.


I DO have EaseUS data recovery installed but would not know what to look for.


Can I get my original sticky notes back?


Thank you kindly!

:)

Hi Idalee,

Yes, there is a possibility that the recent update may have disabled or corrupted the apps. For us to isolate this problem, we suggest repairing or resetting Sticky Notes on your PC. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings and click Apps.
• On the Apps & features tab, locate the name of the missing app.
• Click the app and select Advanced options, then click Repair.
  
• If the Repair option is not available or does not resolve the issue, you may also try the
  Reset option. However, it's more likely that you will lose any app data that was saved.
• Once the repair or reset is completed, Sticky Notes should now reappear in the app list.
• You may now pin it to the Start Menu.

Update us with the outcome.

Regards.
