Microsoft Sticky Notes - Sync Issue

Hi there, I have set up notes sync between two computers at home, using my wife's microsoft account. We do not have any sort of Office 365 subscription, so this is just-out-of-the-box Windows 10.   ...

Hello lmartinking,

 

Try re-registering Sticky Notes app. Perform these steps: 

 

1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Cortana or Windows Search. 

 

2. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator. 

 

3. Then type following command and press Enter key: 

 

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose} 

 

Let the command complete. 

 

4. Close Windows PowerShell and see if the issue is resolved now. 

 

Let us know if this helps!

KapilAryaThanks for your message. I ran the command, closed notes fully (using Task Manager), ran notes again, did a "Sync" (via the settings), but unfortunately the issue persists:

 

Output from Notes sync:
