Windows 10: Sticky Notes App stopped working on Windows 10

Sticky Notes worked fine in the past, but at some point it stopped working. Initially when it stopped working, the app would show in the task bar but the notes would not display anywhere. I could see them in the notes list, but they would not show up on the desktop. I've recently updated Windows 10 to 1903, and now StickyNotes just crashes on startup. It displays "Loading Sticky Notes..." briefly and then disappears.


I've tried all the suggestions (reset, uninstall/reinstall, re-register, troubleshooter, etc.). I've been scoured the registry and removed all StickyNotes entries. Nothing has worked. Is there any way to get this simple app working??
