    Lost Notes on Sticky Notes 3.1 Windows 10


    Hello,


    I had a ton of Stiky Notes, really important to me. Today the app decided not to open at all, so I restored it, the description literally says that windows will reinstall it and that my documents won't be affected.... guess what, it deleted all my my sticky notes!!!! Help! Is there anyway I can get them back?

    :)

    Was this the WIndows 10 Upgrade from WIndows 7, 8 or 8.1?

    Check now for a C:\Windows.old folder that is created during an Upgrade. If that folder is found, you can

    Show Hidden Files and Folders in Windows 10
    and then follow the steps here:

    • To backup sticky notes in Windows 10/8.1/8/7:
    STEP 1. Type %AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes in the windows.old folder Search box.

    STEP 2. Copy StickyNotes.snt to a safe location.

    • To restore sticky notes:
    STEP 1. Type %AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes in start menu search box or run and press Enter.

    STEP 2. Copy the StickyNotes.snt file from your backup folder and paste it in the folder that opens. Agree to overwrite the old file, or delete it first before copying. If it balks then install and use the

    Take Ownership Shortcut
    on the folder so you can replace the .snt file.

    If you don't have Windows.old folder, do you have a backup image of your old install which we can help you mount to browse into the old files?

    If not then your notes may be lost. In the future use Notepad or Wordpad which can more easily save Files to your Documents, or back up the Sticky Notes file regularly following the above.

    Lost Notes on Sticky Notes 3.1 Windows 10

    Lost sticky notes after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello Fellow Windows 10 Sufferers,

    Just had to succumb to a forced Windows 10 update yesterday and lost all sorts of functionality including Sticky Notes.

    I had two issues with Sticky Notes:

    1-- Lost access to the actual Sticky Notes App completely

    2-- Lost all the notes I had typed into the sticky notes tagged to my desktop

    How I fixed these issues...

    1-- followed the suggestion on this board posted by ReneLacore (Thank you for that!) with some slight modifications. Typed Sticky Notes into the Search Windows box located next to the Windows Start Icon. When I clicked on the search result (I only got one
    item in the results), it did in fact restore the Sticky Notes app, but all my previously entered notes had been lost.

    2-- To recover lost notes, I went to Google Search and found this:

    How To Recover Deleted Sticky Notes In Windows

    I followed all the steps and was able to recover all my lost notes in a Notepad document form.

    Hope this is helpful. I should mention that I am a computer newbie, so this may not be the most elegant set of recommendations. Hope it helps!

    BAD Microsoft. BAD, BAD Microsoft!
