Windows 10: Sticky Notes limited to app wondow

I'm trying to use sticky notes but I can't place the notes on my desktop. When I open the application, an application window opens where I can create and place notes, but I can't move those notes to the desktop. When the app window is minimized, the notes go with it. Same for closing and reopening the app- the notes stay in the window. I've checked the app settings, reset the app, and uninstalled and reinstalled the app, nothing changes.


If I can't figure it out I'll have to move to a different app because this is useless. Any ideas on what I should do next?

Hi Idalee,

Yes, there is a possibility that the recent update may have disabled or corrupted the apps. For us to isolate this problem, we suggest repairing or resetting Sticky Notes on your PC. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings and click Apps.
• On the Apps & features tab, locate the name of the missing app.
• Click the app and select Advanced options, then click Repair.
  
• If the Repair option is not available or does not resolve the issue, you may also try the
  Reset option. However, it's more likely that you will lose any app data that was saved.
• Once the repair or reset is completed, Sticky Notes should now reappear in the app list.
• You may now pin it to the Start Menu.

Update us with the outcome.

Regards.
