Windows 10: Microsoft continuing support for OneNote 2016 and adding Dark Mode

Brink · Nov 4, 2019

From your flashes of inspiration at 2:00 AM to the list of funny things your children say, or that brilliant idea you had in the conference room, and your ever-growing list of household chores — OneNote holds the notes to your life to track all the things you need to keep in mind, but simply don’t have room for in your overworked brain.

We enjoy the privilege of serving millions of customers like you, who each have unique needs and who use OneNote in unique ways. Over the past year, we’ve been listening to your passionate feedback and are humbled by your consistent love for OneNote. We hear you loud and clear — you want to keep your notes your way!

With that in mind, we’re pleased to announce that we are continuing mainstream support for OneNote 2016 beyond October 2020, so that you can continue using the version of OneNote that works best for you. New support dates for OneNote 2016 now align with Office 2019 (October 10, 2023 for mainstream support and October 14, 2025 for extended support). We also want to make deployment and installation easier for organizations and individuals, so for Windows users, starting in March 2020, when you deploy or install Office 365 subscriptions that include the Office desktop apps or Office 2019, the OneNote desktop app will be installed by default alongside Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. If you’d like to install OneNote 2016 earlier, you can get it here: aka.ms/InstallOneNote.

And, of course, OneNote should look the way you want it to. That’s why this week we are rolling out Dark Mode for OneNote 2016. This will be available for Office 365 subscribers and non-volume licensing Office 2019 customers. Dark Mode changes the app’s interface elements from light to dark. Using OneNote in this mode can improve readability in low light environments, increase legibility of the user interface as well as your notes, provide better contrast, and reduce eye strain. You might also use OneNote in Dark Mode simply as a personal preference. The choice is yours!

We’re excited about today’s announcements and we’ll keep listening to your feedback to make your OneNote better and better! Please continue requesting features and telling us what you think via the in-app feedback.

Dark Mode and more now on OneNote

This month, we’re excited to bring you some highly anticipated features in OneNote: Dark Mode, Send to OneNote from Outlook, Insert printouts of Office files, and simplified ribbon for OneNote on the web. Read on below for more information on these highly requested features!

Go easy on the eyes with Dark Mode

You asked, and we heard you. Dark Mode in OneNote for Windows 10 is finally available! It’s currently rolled out to Office Insiders and will be available for all users over the next few weeks. To turn on Dark Mode, head over to Settings in the upper right corner of the ribbon, click Options and select Dark under the Color section to switch your OneNote to Dark Mode. If your Windows Mode is already in the Dark color scheme, then you can also select Use my Windows Mode to turn on Dark Mode in OneNote.

As we built Dark Mode, we took many careful considerations to make it a great experience. For example, we aimed to turn the canvas dark along with the rest of the interface, while leaving users’ existing content at the same visibility and contrast as in Light Mode. To achieve this goal, we provided a “Dark Mode lens” through which a user can view canvas content such as text colors, table background colors, text highlighters, and ink colors with the same comfort as in Light Mode without simply inverting colors to the opposite end of the color spectrum. In addition, users are able to create content in Dark Mode that will be equally legible in Light Mode, so other collaborators viewing the same content in Light Mode will not have any noticeable difficulties.

We are actively working to bring Dark Mode to OneNote for Mac, as well as adjustments to the OneNote for Windows 10 experience that came from early Insiders feedback. If you want to be one of the first people to try out new features in OneNote, sign up to be an Office Insider or simply opt-in from Settings in your OneNote app.

Quickly catalog important emails with Send to OneNote

Send emails and meetings from Outlook to OneNote for Windows 10, OneNote for Mac and OneNote on the web with ease. In Outlook, click the Send to OneNote add-in to open the location picker panel. Find the destination notebook and section then click Send – it’s that easy. Once you go to the selected section in OneNote, your email or meeting will be there.

If you don’t see the new Send to OneNote add-in in Windows 10, head over to File, Options, Advanced, and scroll down to the very bottom and check that “Use Send to OneNote with OneNote for Windows 10, if available” is selected. Once your Outlook is given the update, you should be able to use this new feature.

This feature is available on Outlook for desktop, Outlook for Mac, and Outlook on the web and will be rolling out to all users over the next few weeks.

Insert printouts of Office files directly in your notes

Now, you can insert printouts of Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files into your notebooks for more robust content in OneNote for Windows 10. Under the Insert tab, click Printout and select the Office file to insert. Once selected, OneNote will load the printouts of your file onto your canvas.

This feature is rolling out to all users over the next few weeks. Keep your OneNote for Windows 10 updated and give it a try!

Simplified ribbon in OneNote for the Web

Finally, simplified ribbon has come to OneNote for the web. Enjoy more space on your screen and quickly get to the tools you need with this update. If you prefer to switch back to the old experience, click the View tab and uncheck Simplified Ribbon to refresh and return to the previous ribbon.

We hope you try the features above and look forward to hearing from you. Leave us a comment down below and don’t forget to request features you’d like to see in Feedback Hub. We’ll see you soon with more updates from the OneNote team!

Microsoft OneNote hidden on installing Windows 10

This is a common issue for Windows 10 upgrades.

Be sure to launch OneNote 2016 (NOT the app called just OneNote) - this version is more likely to contain your old notes. Should this be your solution, you can follow these steps to change your default OneNote version to the 2016 version, as mentioned in this Microsoft support article:

Press the Windows button in the lower-left corner of your screen, and then choose Settings.

In Settings, choose System > Default apps, scroll to the bottom of the list, and choose Set defaults by app.

In the list under Set your default programs, find the version of OneNote that you'd like Windows to use as the default, and then choose
Set this program as default. For example, choose OneNote (desktop) if
you want to always open notebooks in OneNote 2016.

Click OK to save your changes.
