Windows 10: Open Full Version of OneNote from Action Center

You cannot do it from settings. Doing so changes nothing. Or at least for me it wasnt. I did the below steps to get it to work.

1. Open full version of OneNote.
2. Right click on the default tab that opens.
3. Select Copy Link to Selection
4. In the registry, navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ActionCenter\Quick Actions\All\SystemSettings_Launcher_Quicknote
5. On the right, double click on Uri to modify it
6. Past in the link you got from OneNote.
7. Restart system.

Action Center OneNote (Note button) not launching.

Hi!

I have the same problem.

Office 2016 Note does not open from Action Center.

Action center only opens default Store Note App.

Any way i can configure windows to start my Office 2016 OneNote directly from action center?

I have setup all possible associations with office (except for OneNote-CMD that does not see Office 2016 Note as a candidate .

Please help!

best wishes, Iulian

 

Action Center OneNote (Note button) not launching.

To have the Action Center Note button
launch OneNote desktop, enter onenote:<full_link_to_the_page>
in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ActionCenter\Quick Actions\All\SystemSettings_Launcher_Quicknote, then log out and log in again.

NB : Right-click on the page of your choice to get the full link to it, then copy-paste the second line only (the first one would open OneNote online).

If someone finds a way to launch a New Quick Note or Sticky Notes from the Action Center, please share!

PS1: Redirecting the Action Center Note button to the desktop version of OneNote is useful for tablet usage only. For keyboard/mouse, the Win-N key shortcut does it by default.

PS2: You can also create Taskbar shortcuts to launch OneNote exactly the way you want.

E.g. To launch a docked note of your choice with one single click, create a shortcut
to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\ONENOTE.EXE" /docked /hyperlink "<full_link_to_the_page>"
then drag-drop it to the Taskbar. NB: In this case, use the second link starting with OneNote: (the web one).
