OneNote lagging while typing
OneNote for Mac has become really slow and lagging while I try to type notes on lecture slides. I normally import a PDF on a page and write notes over it, but it cannot keep up with even short bursts...
I had the same problem, running on Windows 10. I realized the problem started when I turned the "text cursor indicator" on. This is a setting in Windows 10 (Settings >> Ease of Access >> Text Cursor) that makes the text cursor much more prominent. I turned it off and OneNote stopped lagging. I assume there is a similar setting for Macs.
This is amazing! I registered just to thank you for posting this. OneNote has been unusable for me for nearly 18 months. I tried clearing the cash, repairing the app, disabling auto sync, and even uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh copy to no avail but turning off the text cursor indicator worked. Thank you!
Glad I could help.
