Windows 10: lost sticky notes with Fall Creator

Although my Windows 10 Fall Creator update went well, it lost my existing Sticky Notes.
How can I get back my Sticky Notes prior to the update?

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

Not able to type in sticky notes in windows 10

Hi,

Based on the version of your Sticky Notes, I think you should be using Windows 10 Anniversary Update. If you use the Store app, you should be able to get version 1.8 which fixes a majority of the issues in version 1.0.136. Alternatively, if you upgrade to
Creators Update or Fall Creators Update of Windows 10, you should be able to use our latest release, version 2.1 which is even more stable.

Happy note taking,

Pen behavior in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

I'm trying to use my pen as a PowerPoint Clicker. How do I do that?

I have the Fall Creator update installed, but when I click the eraser button, I get a Windows Sticky Note on the desktop.

 

That is because Sticky Notes are a legacy software and they were noted by Microsoft when they put the information out about Anniversary Edition and replaced them with the App version. See http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/ge...0-anniversary/ for getting the legacy version back.

 

Hello Dan, *Smile

If you like, you could use Option Four in the tutorial below to restore your old Sticky Notes to the new one.

Thanks, but I was never able to get v1703 to work (MS support said I had some sort of driver issue(?) which caused the update to fail) but surprisingly v1709 worked with no problems (except for this Sticky Notes issue).
So I don't believe your article applies to me since I never had Redstone on my system.
Thanks anyhow,
Dan

 

Hi Brink,
I searched my PC and have no "snt" file to rename, as described in Step 6 of Option 4.
Other than that, the article looked promising.

Dan,

If you haven't already, check to see if you may have a "C:Windows.old" folder that your .snt files may be at instead.

 

Brink:
I use the "EVERYTHING" search utility which is very thorough and no WINDOWS.OLD folder exists nor *.snt files.
I guess without the '*.snt' file I'm out of luck.
Dan

 

The .snt file would be for your old Sticky Notes. Without it, you don't have them anymore. *Sad

 

If you had read the info in the Link I posted, you can pull it from the previous ISO.

 

My substitute for sticky notes. I made an empty .txt file using Notepad on the desktop and also on taskbar.

Since it's my data that I need to retrieve, how would downloading this iso image help me?
Doesn't that just install the old version of Sticky Notes (without my data?).
Dan

 

Thanks, but it's my data that I need, not alternative methods.
Thanks anyhow.
Dan

 

Again read the link that I posted that explains how to pull Sticky Notes from the ISO before Microsoft removed it. Otherwise there is not much else to tell you at this point, since it is a easy fix.
