• Open Folder Options by Pressing Windows key + X, clicking
  Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking

Sticky Notes

Hi,

My name is Angel. I am an Independent Advisor. Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Here are the keyboard shortcuts for sticky notes:

Ctrl+B – Bold text

Ctrl+I – Italic text

Ctrl+T – Strikethrough

Ctrl+U – Underlined text

Ctrl+Shift+L – Bulleted (press once) or Numbered (press twice) list

Ctrl+Shift+> – Increased text size

Ctrl+Shift+< – Decreased text size

Ctrl+A – Select all

Ctrl+Shift+A – Toggles all caps

Ctrl+L – Left aligns text

Ctrl+R – Right aligns text

Ctrl+E – Centers text

Ctrl+Shift+L – Small Alpha list (3rd), Capital Alpha list (4th), small roman (5th), Capital roman (6th)

Ctrl+1 – Single-space lines

Ctrl+2 – Double-space lines

Ctrl+5 – Set 1.5-line spacing

Ctrl+= – Subscript

Ctrl+Shift++ – Superscript

Change Sticky Notes Font

Windows uses the Segoe Print font. Changing the default is not supported in Sticky Notes. What you can do is type your text in the desired font in a text editor like Word, and copy-paste it here. The Sticky Note should display the text in that font. Let us
know if this works for you.

Try:

1. Open a Word Document.

2. Type letters with the font style you want to use in Sticky Notes.

3. Copy the words you typed then paste it to Sticky Notes. The following characters you'll be typing next will now be the same with the font style you used to copy from the Word document.

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.
