  1. Sticky Notes are not located in windows.old folder Updated 7/2020


    Hello,


    What happened to my sticky notes from Windows 7? I just upgraded to Windows 10 on this PC and they are not in the usual “%AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes folder. I've seen and searched all over, but I cannot find someone with a solution to the sticky notes file being missing from the location folder.


    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Hello,

    What happened to my sticky notes from Windows 7? I just upgraded to Windows 10 on this PC and they are not in the usual “%AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky
    Notes folder. I've seen and searched all over, but I cannot find someone with a solution to the sticky notes file being missing from the location folder.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William. I'm a Windows technical expert. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    Win 7 to 10 requires that the notes be converted sqlite format. To do this:

    Close sticky notes app

    Go to %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState and create a folder called Legacy

    Copy the .snt file to that location and rename it to ThresholdNotes.snt

    Launch Sticky Note.

    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.
