After win 10 update, sticky notes now uses a separate taskbar tab for each note. Before update, all notes were in one tab.

***Title Modified Original: sticky notes***

    I've tried several alternative apps and found them lacking. Googling show lots of additional apps to try. Your post is not very helpful.

    I just found a better app for sticky notes than the Windows 10 version. Until this update, I've been using the Windows 10 version. Obviously the development team wanted to butcher their sticky notes app to force us to switch to a better, non-Microsoft one. Thank you, development team! Without this regressive update, I would not have found a better app! I won't say which one, but it's easy to find with a quick Google search. I am not going to uninstall/remove the Microsoft version of sticky notes. Thanks again.

    I've been using the Notes List but it's not the same. With individual notes you can place them in various spots on the monitor and change sizes to get your attention. Not a good substitute as far as I'm concerned.

    I discovered Notes List, hope this helps until the actual fix:

    >Right click on any sticky notes tab

    >Click Notes List - Here, a new tab will appear that lists all you sticky notes

    This only takes up one tab in the task bar.

    >You can proceed on closing all other sticky notes tabs.

    Please back-up your notes first. I will not be responsible if you lose them.

    Same here.  Individual tabs for sticky notes makes task bar useless.  Might as well just use Notepad like I used to.  :(
