Windows 10: Is there a way to disable the new insights/interests feature?

While the feature on the taskbar is minimal and aesthetic, the actual feature itself once expanded is very clunky which is a shame, one small misclick and woosh, hello Edge browser.I would like to disable it but I can't seem to work out where in the settings it is, I then thought maybe it's in the taskbar settings since it's on the taskbar but no dice there either. Any help would be appreciated!

Sticky Notes "Insights" not working with handwriting

Hi ManuelGarces,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Have you tried to check the settings on the Sticky Note App if the
   Enable Insights is off?
   
2. Since when are you facing this issue?
   
   
   

I suggest you to follow the below steps, and check if that helps.



Method1: Try enable insights in Sticky notes.

1. Open the Sticky Notes app.
2. Click/tap on the 3 dots menu button, and click/tap on Settings.
3. Click/tap on Enable insights to toggle to disable (uncheck) or enable (check) it

Method 2: Fix problem with apps.



I suggest you to follow this article on
Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store, an check if that helps.



Method 3: Reset Sticky Notes in Windows 10.

1. Open the Settings Navigate to
   Apps and then select Apps & features.
   
2. Look for the Sticky Notes
   entry and click on the same to select it. You should now see
   Advanced options link
   
3. Click Advanced
   options link to open Storage usage and app reset page.
   
4. Click the Reset button. When you see the confirmation, click the
   Reset button to reset the Sticky Notes
   app.
   
5. Restart the PC once you reset the
   Sticky Notes
   app.
   

Re-install sticky notes app from the Microsoft store and check if that helps.





I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Enable Insights in Sticky Notes

Hi

I have just upgraded Windows 10 to Version 1607 & Build 14393.10.

When I start the Ink Workspace and open Sticky Notes (1.0.136.0) I don't get the option to Enable Insights.

I therefore cannot get Cortana to recognise any reminders I write and SN does not recognise any lists I make.

As this is one of the supposedly great new features of the update I was looking forward to can anyone suggest any solutions or point me in the direction of what may be the problem?

Thanks
