    MS OneNote 2010 - Random appearances on desktop


    Hello all.
    Just lately I am getting completely random appearances on my desktop of the Microsoft OneNote program.
    I booted up today and there it was on my desktop. I was away and the screensaver had kicked in.

    (MS Onenote 2010)

    Seems to appear for no apparent reason. I did think a browser operation triggered it but I was playing some Minecraft yesterday and it appeared after the game had started.

    I have searched here and Googled without seeing any solution so would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about solving.

    I am happy to provide any further information necessary.


    W10 64 bit/Firefox and I have never opened the Onenote program.

    I will add the only thing I have done lately was to 'refresh' FireFox and install and run CCleaner.

    :)

    MS Office 2010 - OneNote

    Does MS Office 2010 - OneNote work in Windows 10? I see that MS Office 2010 works and was tested in Windows 10 but OneNote was not tested. Can someone verify OneNote works in Windows 10?

    Thank you.

    OneNote "Sync Conflicts"

    I'm having the same issue. I use 2010 desktop version and sync w/ my WP7. 3-4 days per week I try to sync and get the issue. This is my (PIA) workaround:

    • Delete the conflicting document in onenote desktop client (as suggested by a commenter)
    • Remove the live tile
    • Delete the file from my phone.
    • Re-sync entire notebook so most recent version appears on phone.
    What a pain.

    It seems totally random. I don't notice if it's changes from my phone to the desktop client or vice-versa. Just seems to pop up.

    MS OneNote 2010 - Random appearances on desktop

    I was just playing slither, yes that snake game and some minutes in and that OneNote window opened up on top of the (full screen) game!

    EDIT: The next day... I was just in my FF browser and the OneNote window opened while I was watching an animated gif?

    I would appreciate any suggesting on how I might go about solving this annoyance.

    Is OneNote 2016 similar to the OneNote that was part of Office 2010?: I just upgraded from Windows 7 / Office 2010 to Windows 10 and the version of OneNote I used previously was faster, had many more features, and felt like a desktop app. This new version feels slow and looks like it was a horrible port from a mobile phone or something.
