Windows 10: Cannot type into sticky notes unless using ALT Ascii

For some reason, I cannot use the keyboard QWERTY keys to type into sticky notes.The Enter key does work though.The only way, which is cumbersome, is to use the ALT and three number ASCII code to enter text.Or, copy and paste from another program.This bug has been around for many years now. Why hasn't it been fixed in a Windows update?

Sticky Note Missing

Hi KeithRawlings,

I'm Charles, an Independent advisor trying to help.

Let's see if with the following steps we can solve the problem:

1.- Open >> Sticky notes, when located on the taskbar (Right click on the option) >> Select: List of Notes, now check if your note is in that list.

2.- Follow the steps suggested by the Windows MVP in your article

I hope the steps work for you

Attentive to any comments

Have a happy day

Best Regards,

Charles.

 

Severe Sticky Note Typing Lag - Nowhere Else


A few build releases ago, I started having a severe Sticky Note typing lag.

This does not occur anywhere else in Windows Explorer or Apps, such as typing this thread in a browser or using Microsoft Suite.

As an example, I typed "How long should it take to type this message?" in a Word Document, Browser, and Sticky Notes. In the first two, it took less than 5 seconds and characters appears instantly. In Sticky notes, only "How L" was visible in the same initial time period and it took over 65 seconds before the last character finally appeared.

Microsoft seemed to fix one issue, and created two more. I no longer have to double tap the alt key each time Sticky Note window was active in order to enable scrolling. But, I have this strange delay and lost formatting ability to create lists. See keyboard shortcuts.

System Specs: Should not matter as it seems to be unique to one app, but...

the sticky note application.

Hi,

Sticky Notes is one of the default programs for Windows 10. Type Sticky Notes in the search box, then press enter. If you are encountering an error opening Sticky Notes, we recommend resetting the application. Follow the steps below:

• Open Settings.
  
• Click Apps, then Apps & features in the left pane.
  
• Locate Sticky Notes, then click Advanced options.
  
• Click Reset.
  

Keep us in the loop with the result.
