Windows 10: Windows 10 OneNote 2013 screen clipping not working

I recently bought a new computer with Windows 10, and installed Office 2013 (with OneNote 2013). Windows 10 is updated to today, with Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3156421) installed.

I used the Screen Clipping all the time (50 or more times a day) in Win 7 with Office 2010. Now Windows - S opens Cortana.

I added the ScreenClip app that sits in the menu, but that requires that I activate it (Win+N) and then hit S to take a screenshot. Plus, any dropdowns that I have open that I want to take a screenshot of disappear using this method. Of course, with the old Windows+S on Windows 7, that never happened.

I have spent literally days searching for the answer to getting a Windows+somekey shortcut to work again. My current registry hack is below and attached - it looks just like one found in the Microsoft forum and elsewhere. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Or even a Windows+Shift+somekey. No luck.

I would really appreciate any assistance. Even more, I would appreciate Microsoft getting this whole thing straightened out! In the meantime, thanks in advance for any assistance.

Send to One Note Opens on Startup Ever Since the Fall Windows Update

Hi Eric,

I did a repair of Office 2013 and restarted my PC. "Send to OneNote" did not start automatically (GOOD)

I then used Send to OneNote to clip a section of the screen. This automatically started OneNote to show my clip (GOOD)

I closed OneNote and Send to OneNote and restarted my PC. "Send to OneNote" started automatically (BAD)

I check "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" which was empty.

I check the Startup section of the Task Manager - OneNote was not listed.

I use the clipping tool often, so I don't want to disable OneNote altogether but I don't want to have to close it every time I start my PC.

What is causing Send to OneNote to open at start up?

 

Embed in One Note

I'm seeing the same problem. I shot a brief video using my iPhone. It was then automatically backed up to OneDrive. I then dragged the file from OneDrive into OneNote 2013 on my Windows 7 PC.

When I click on the video, OneNote 2013 uses the Windows Media Player to play the video clip. The video clip plays fine the first time I view it. But when I try to replay it, I get the error message "This file is currently opened in another application.
Close the file in that application and try again."

The only way I have found to clear this message is to shut down OneNote, then restart it.

 

Update. I just rebooted (again), and now it seems to be working perfectly. Windows+Y, and I can screenshot dropdown menus again. YAY!

Hopefully it will stick and continue to work. Thanks to everyone who has posted solutions to this in the various forums. Much appreciated.

Congrats. Isn't it nice to have the problem solved by your own hard work ?

 

It is! And my own hard work was persistence in reading everything I could find on the issue! Standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before!

Thanks again to everyone who posts questions and solutions in a way that typical computer users can implement,
