Import Powerpoint into Onenote and all slides end up under same note.

I am using Onenote and Powerpoint 2013.

I have selected under Advanced Options to split long print outs into individual notes in OneNote.  This was working fine when i dragged PowerPoint presentations into onenote.  The slides would get put into individual notes as i would expect as i had this option selected.

All of a sudden today, i dragged a powerpoint into onenote, and the slides all get lumped into one note.  119 slides all under the same note.  I want them to go into individual notes as it did before.  I went to options, advanced, turned the Printouts insert long printouts on multiple pages, off then tried again, then on and tried again, i tried rebooting, everything.  It always comes back the same.  No matter what i select, when i drag powerpoint into Onenote, it ends up all on the same page.  I tried going to Powerpoint and selecting print to Onenote.  I tried every option.  Still same result, all slides end up in same page in onenote.  What happened?

Any help would be appreciated.

    I kept looking under change PC settings.  I thought this replaced control panel. I am very happy to see it still exists.  Thanks.

    Could someone post detailed instructions on how to uninstall this update "15.0.4420.1017 is the version number after uninstalling SP1".  I am running Windows 8.1 on a Surface.  I find Windows 8.1 so different from any other Windows OS.  I can't find any info on installed updates.

    Thanks.

    In order to unistall updated you have to go to the control panel--->Uninstall programs--->View install updates ( on the left colon ) then you can check all the updates installed and unistall them if you want ( if you can't do this I think it's because you have automatic update options active, in my case I have set notify updates but let me decide if install them ). I have uninstall SP1 for office 2013 in this way on my surface PRO with 8.1 x64. I use it at univeristy and I need the chance to print pdf to onenote on multiple pages. The situation before the SP1 is the best one because users can choice whatever they want multiple pages or just one inside the option.

    What is bad is that Microsoft hasn't realesed a patch to fix this bug yet, I'm not a system programmer but it doesn't seems that big effert to my eyes...

    I won't reinstall the SP1 update until Microsoft doesn't fix this problem.

    I had a work around that was working.  I could print from my Windows 7 computer into OneNote and it would split it into separate pages.  However last night Windows 7 received an Office update and now Microsoft broke my work around. It now behaves the same as my Surface with windows 8.1. 

    This makes OneNote useless to me also.  I am importing several PowerPoint presentations a month and I need to be able to have each page separately.  Why does Microsoft ship out updates after bugs have been identified on other OSs?. 

    I will either have to look into how to uninstall an update or look for another product.  So much time wasted.

    I have this problem as well, and it renders OneNote useless.
