Windows 10: How to Remove Compatibility Settings from OneNote 2016?

I just updated my Surface Book 3 from Windows 10 1909 to the latest 2004. In 1909, OneNote 2016 had an issue where the ink would be several inches away from the pen tip when I tried to draw. The fix was to disable DPI scaling using compatibility mode.


The issue is suppose to be fixed in 2004 but I cannot figure out how to remove the compatibility setting I applied earlier. There's no 'compatibility' option in the OneNote properties menu and if I go through the compatibility troubleshooter it keeps the settings applied. How do I remove the compatibility settings from OneNote 2016?

Win 10: how to disable OneNote app after installing OneNote 2016

Hi

Thank you for the advice; I checked the settings and OneNote 2016 was already the default program for the related file types.

I am not certain that this was relevant, however, as I cannot remember ever opening OneNote by clicking on the file in Explorer. In any case, my issue is that I want to remove or disable the unnecessary / duplicate / low functionality version of OneNote
that comes shipped with Win 10 so that the preferred OneNote 2016 version is the only one available.

In particular, I want to remove the unwanted OneNote icon from the apps list in the Start menu and not have it visible in the Windows Ink menu.

It does not make sense that, when the full-function program from Office 365 is installed, the poor quality version cannot be removed or suppressed.

Thanks, Simon
