Windows 10: Traditional Sticky Notes

Hi Windows 10 Forums,

I use the old traditional Win32 sticky notes (StikyNot.exe) very frequently, and it works perfectly for me. The new Windows 10 Sticky Notes (Metro/Universal) in Anniversary Update are huge in terms of screen real estate and I deleted it by deleting all metro apps through Windows Powershell. I decided to install Windows 10 Anniversary through a clean install, so I couldn't retrieve the old sticky notes from Windows.old. I tried copying files from my Windows 7 install, but it didn't work. Please help as this old application helps keep my work organized all the time.

I am using Windows 10 Anniversary Update (14393.105) 32-bit. I personally don't see the need to the Universal Windows platform and I exclusively still use Win32 apps. I personally would love to ditch Windows 10 and return to Windows 7 or 8.1

Thank you,
Matthew

Use the following to remove it:

Then redownload it directly from the Microsoft Store:

Get Microsoft Sticky Notes - Microsoft Store

Forgive the obvious- have you tried any of the various freeware sticky notes offerings? You'd be better to go with sthg that is current and maintained.

 

Hi:

One such option is Stickies by Tom Revell (zhornsoftware.co.uk) - download directly from his site.
I have used this little program for many years on platforms from XP(32-bit) to 10(64-bit).
100% trouble-free in my experience.
It's not fancy, but it does what it says and says what it does.
The current version is 9.0(c), but I prefer the older 8.0(c) version for a few minor, aesthetic reasons.
Either one will run fine on Win10.
Developer is very responsive.

Handy little productivity app.

Cheers,
MM
