    Before this issue happened, I haven't run the sticky notes for more than couple of months. Yesterday I ran the sticky note and then for a few seconds I saw all my notes were there but suddenly the notes started to disappear one by one and only few notes left.I suspect this issue should be related to synchronization with any server but couldn't find any clues or helps here.Can anybody advise on this issue? I really need those important notes back...

  2. 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.

    Sticky Notes

    Hi there,

    I can understand the frustration - let's see if we can fix this for you!

    Let's try a couple of steps:

    Step 1: Recover Missing Sticky Notes from the File Location

    When you accidentally delete a sticky note, the app data is still there. We can restore deleted sticky notes from a StickyNotes.snt file.

    Open File Explorer on Windows, navigate to C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes.

    Find and right click on StickyNotes.snt file.

    Select Restore Previous Versions.

    Step 2: Recover Closed Sticky Notes from All Notes.

    Open Sticky Notes app.

    Right click on Sticky Notes app on Task bar, then choose All notes.

    A full list of notes will appear, including the one that you closed.

    Double click the note that you want to recover, then it will display as a standalone note like all regular ones.

    The above was copied verbatim from this link:
