Making desktop onenote default for windows 10

this fixed it for me:

you just remove the onenote metro app completely with this powershell command:

Get-AppxPackage *onenote* | Remove-AppxPackage

and add one info to the registry:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd\shell\open\command

@="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\onenote.exe".

What happens when u doubleclick?

Well I had some success today! I was able to get OneNote to open up again using the Pen Button through modifying the registry and using the powershell to remove OneNote Metro. One key thing was that I had to use a different file path. I am using OneNote 2016 64 Bit Version.  I used the following path as the default: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OneNote.exe." I should also note that I initially capitalized "shell" and "command". When I updated the Default to the file path above, I also fixed the capitalization mistakes. Not sure if it actually helped, but OneNote opened up after, so figured I should mention just in case it matters...

One thing to note is that when I double click, that action doesn't allow me to take screenshots. Instead, when I double click it only opens up OneNote 2016. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the double click action to take screenshots?

Please read the pages before (at least page 7).

You can wait untill it is fixed, or/and use this (mirror) tool.

I stand corrected, the double clicking is actually working! It takes a screenshot of my screen when I double click. It is copied to the clip board all I have to do is paste it and the screenshot will show up. Thanks everyone for all the input, def would not have resolved this issue without this thread!
