    Thanks ever so much, your post has been a great inspiration for me! Shame on MS for not sorting this out before the Win10 release...

    For the German version of OneNote, I've had to change this part of your script:

     #F19::

     sleep 30

     send {alt} 

     sleep 30 

     send 0O

    Now: Is there a way of fixing the double press outside OneNote screenshot problem in Win10? Again, the modern app is called up instead of the desktop version... >>> Yes, there is! Just add this to the script:

     ; call up Send to OneNote screenshot shortcut from double pressing Surface Pen tip

     #F19::

     sleep 30

     send #n

     sleep 15

     send S

     ;*/

    Ok well try this, its a little rough round the edges.....

    In order for this to work 'note' will need to be in the first position on your 'quick actions'

    to do this go to settings -> "notifications and actions" -> under choose your actions, click the first one and select note.

    create an hotkey script with the following

    #NoEnv

    #SingleInstance force

    SetTitleMatchMode, 2

    #IfWinActive, Action Centre ahk_class Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow

    ~LButton::

    MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos, id, control

    If (xpos> 6 and xpos < 86 and ypos < 724 and ypos > 670) {

    sleep, 500 ;(wait .5 seconds)

    WinKill OneNote ahk_class ApplicationFrameWindow

    IfWinNotExist ahk_class Framework::CFrame

    Run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OneNote.exe

    }

    else {

    ;MsgBox, I am open

    sleep, 2 ;(wait .5 seconds)

    WinKill OneNote ahk_class ApplicationFrameWindow

    WinActivate ahk_class Framework::CFrame

    }

    return

    Its rough and a work in progress ideally I would like to prevent the onenote app from loading but the only way I can see to do that would add a lot of overhead, so killing it will have to do until MS tell us how to fix it properly .

    I have not tested on my surface pro 3 only on my laptop but as a tap is a click it should work..
