Windows 10: Windows 10 Action Center Note Shortcut Default

I need to change the app that the note button in the Action Center opens on Windows 10 to a different app. Thank you for any help!

Action Center OneNote (Note button) not launching.

To have the Action Center Note button
launch OneNote desktop, enter onenote:<full_link_to_the_page>
in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ActionCenter\Quick Actions\All\SystemSettings_Launcher_Quicknote, then log out and log in again.

NB : Right-click on the page of your choice to get the full link to it, then copy-paste the second line only (the first one would open OneNote online).

If someone finds a way to launch a New Quick Note or Sticky Notes from the Action Center, please share!

PS1: Redirecting the Action Center Note button to the desktop version of OneNote is useful for tablet usage only. For keyboard/mouse, the Win-N key shortcut does it by default.

PS2: You can also create Taskbar shortcuts to launch OneNote exactly the way you want.

E.g. To launch a docked note of your choice with one single click, create a shortcut
to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\ONENOTE.EXE" /docked /hyperlink "<full_link_to_the_page>"
then drag-drop it to the Taskbar. NB: In this case, use the second link starting with OneNote: (the web one).

Action Center OneNote (Note button) not launching.

Hi!

I have the same problem.

Office 2016 Note does not open from Action Center.

Action center only opens default Store Note App.

Any way i can configure windows to start my Office 2016 OneNote directly from action center?

I have setup all possible associations with office (except for OneNote-CMD that does not see Office 2016 Note as a candidate .

Please help!

best wishes, Iulian

 

Hi, you can't do exactly that, but you can modify which tiles appear in the Action Centre.
