OneNote breaks if I move it onto an external display
Hi guys I use OneNote extensively for work as my virtual notepad. At most of my working locations, I use my laptop - Dell Latitude 7440 - connected to either a Dell Docking station + 2 monitors, or a pair of samsung monitors which have an inbuilt hub, connect via USB-C and are daisychained together. I've never had any issues with OneNote in the past, but recently have found that if I try and move my OneNote window onto either external monitor, it seems to break OneNote - the whole window becomes just the index list which is normally a column on the left (where it shows all your notebooks and pages) and it won't actually display any of the content from the notebooks/pages. If I try minimizing that column, it has a complete breakdown as if its unable to properly load the actual page content. The only way to fix this is to drag the window back to my laptop screen and then close it and reopen. Has anyone else experienced this? It's really frustrating and affecting my productivity as I often need it side-by-side with other screens.OneNote Desktop sync issue
Hello dear community, I installed OneNote from the Store on my Windows 11 laptop and connected it to my notebook in the Microsoft cloud. I opened a notebook in it, and it apparently syncs, but no notes appear on my device. When I click the link to the OneNote notebook in OneNote, the web version opens successfully and shows the notes. It also works successfully on my phone. So far, I have tried the following: - Uninstalling and reinstalling OneNote - Signing out of OneNote and signing back in - Creating a new notebook as a test → same problem Do you have any other ideas? Thanks. Best regards, BD
Disable incessant nagware popups
I don't know about everyone else, but I am sick and tired of the nagware pop ups in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc. Every single product harasses me with pop ups trying to tell me "hey, did you know this feature was here?", "you can do this if you click that", "let me hold your hand through using products you've used for decades even though you don't want daddy Microslop to do that". This is a prime example. I keep getting the same ones again and again and again and everything I've read indicates they should only appear once. But they don't. They keep coming back like a psychotic stalker ex who wants alimony even though you were never married. How do I get this nagware to stop?!
Office365 Autoupdate on Mac
Last week I had an issue with Autoupdate on Microsoft365 where OneNote failed to update, other app were fine. I tried selecting just this app and updating it but got a download error. Autoupdate indicates "some apps have encountered errors" and retrying just repeats the download error. I've tried machine based fixes but none have worked and I suspect it's something else as I have a Mac mini and MacBook doing the same along with my wife who has a Mac desktop. The issue is still the same a week on.
