  1. Lost OneNote files when switching accounts


    I had a Microsoft account through a university which has now been deleted by the university since the account expired. Even while the account was inactive, my files remained on OneNote and I was able to continue editing them. Today, I wanted to synch the files, ironically, to ensure they were backed up as I knew the old university account had been deleted. I logged into my new Microsoft account after which the files I had created with the old university account closed.

    • Press . ( the full stop button in the keyboard) and then Enter.

    Signing into Onenote app converts local account to microsoft account

    The Onenote app also has broader account-related issues:

    • Sign in with Microsoft account, and Onenote syncs to that.
    • Remove this account from Onenote only, and add a different Microsoft account.
    OneNote does not sync the new account's OneNote files, only sees the old account's files, and gives an error "OneNote needs a password to sync this notebook -> Sign In" where the "Sign In" button does nothing.
