    A prerequisite may be to delete the OneNote App before applying this.

    Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm -Package Microsoft.Office.OneNote_17.4201.10031.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

    strange that this hasn't worked for me.

    I have changed the open string to be the same as my onenote.exe

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd]

    @="URL:onenote-cmd"

    "URL Protocol"=""

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd\shell]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd\shell\open]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd\shell\open\command]

    @=""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\ONENOTE.EXE" "

    But no joy??

    Yes we have multiple versions, OneNote for Office (called either "desktop" or "2013") and the OneNote that comes with Windows 10. We would like the surface pen default to be the OneNote for Office app.

    ANSWER:

    A registry modification is in order. This registry modification will cause the "Note" Quick Action button to launch the OneNote Desktop application installed with MS Office.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd]

    @="URL:onenote-cmd"

    "URL Protocol"=""

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd\Shell]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd\Shell\Open]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd\Shell\Open\Command]

    @=""C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~1\Office14\ONENOTE.EXE""

    This worked for me :-)
