    For possible resolution, we suggest that you access OneNote in Clean Bootenvironment by following this link, and check if it works. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program, or an update, or when you run a program in Windows.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I tried the Clean Boot instructions for Windows 10 but, unfortunately, it did not change the symptoms.

    To isolate the concern, we would like to know the following:

    • How do you access OneNote? Is it through online or app?

    Regards.

    I primarily use One Note in OSX however I regularly use Windows 10 in a VMware Fusion virtual machine. Since the Mac version of Onenote doesn't support backup I want to use the Windows version to do backups. 

    As I already said earlier on I am using the latest version of Office 365 Onenote in Windows 10 with all Windows and office patches up to date. The backup runs but only backs up Quicknotes.

    You can back up your file/s to another drive using File Historyon Windows 10, and restore them if the original are lost or missing.

    To do so, check the links out:
