Remember "Show tabs" setting in OneNote ribbon?

I have a question regarding permanently showing the ribbon tabs in full screen mode. In Office 2013, going into full screen mode means that everything is hidden, except for a very short horizontal bar across the top of the screen. To access anything on the ribbon, I have to click on this bar to show the ribbon first. If I want to pin the ribbon so that tabs are visible at all times in full screen mode, I have to click on this bar, click a menu button near the minimize button (also hidden in full screen), and then click Show Tabs. However, OneNote does not remember this setting. Thus, every time I exit full screen mode or restart OneNote and then reenter full screen mode, I have to re-pin the ribbon again.

How do I get OneNote to remember this setting permanently? It worked in OneNote 2010.

Thanks!

Hey all! OneNote engineer here :)

Update: This has been fixed in all standard Office 365 deployments with build 7766.2060. Simply update to enjoy!

Starting with Version 1701 Build 7766.2029 and later (see File=>Accounts to check your build number) OneNote 2016 O365 will remember any changes you make to the full screen mode ribbon settings both during and between sessions.

As of 1/30/2017 this is deployed to Insiders Fast and will be making its way to "Current Channel" production on 2/14. If you want this change now you can switch to "Insiders Fast" and you can switch back and fourth fairly easily.

    Personal account. Yes it said deferred channel but I went ahead and did the "fix installation" in settings.

    Now I see what the problem is. I originally installed using corporate account, left the job and purchased 365 personal.

    Now I can't get rid of the "Your subscription has expired" notification under additional license information which references the old corporate account. Clicking "resolve" just reroutes to my personal account which is active. Clicking manage account takes me to the corporate login screen which is useless since that account no longer exists.

    Odd. How did you install it? Do you have it assigned to a corporate account? Does it say "deferred channel" by the version?

    Trythis script to change channels.

    Company IT departments can opt to deploy a "Deferred Channel" release schedule which means you'll get updated 5-8 months after the standard release cycle. If you install on your personal computer you'll always get "current channel."
