Windows 10: Sticky notes locking up pc W10

Never occurs in W7, but on my W10 system, launching my sticky notes slows computer to a crawl and then locks it up for 7-10 minutes. System has i7 6820HK@3.8Ghz, 32GB 2400Mhz RAM, M2 SSD for OS, and GTX 1070.

Sticky Notes - Saving the notes?


Just an observation, I have Sticky notes on my W7 & my W10 computers. Stickynote.exe was listed in many recent crashes on my W7 machine and for the last 2 weeks, there are failures in Reliability Monitor on my W10 computer saying that Sticky Notes has failed to update ( this all happened after the 1607 upgrade ).
So I went here Stickies and downloaded Stickies. It's a small program and it is way better than MS Sticky Notes. I put it on my W7 & W10 computers and it works great and is free.
