    Great! Now i've got a message from Kaspersky..

    Well, this is not a virus or something like that. It removes only the complete installation direction and the autostart/startup 'file' from the computer. Keep calm.

    It is possible to use it without any installation. Use the same Link and download the "Non Installation File".

    Thanks so much!!!!!

    I was hoping to still be able to take a screenshot when i double click the top button.  with this script, a single click will open onenote desktop (which i wanted) but double click still opens the other onenote, any ideas?

    (sorry i realize i'm late in the game just wondering if theres a quick fix)

    Well this is really stupid in Windows 10..

    So, what was working for me:

    1. unpin default onenote from start (right click in metro tile in start menu)
    2. select onenote desktop version and pin it to start (all app/microsoft office)
    3. start onenote from metro tile
    4. popup will come up to make it default, but now it will work and will not forward you to settings
    5. enjoy...

    Use powershell!

    Open PowerShell as an administrator

    • set-executionpolicy unrestricted
      • type y then hit enter
    • Get-AppxPackage *OneNote* | Remove-AppxPackage
    • set-executionpolicy restricted
      • type y then hit enter

    This removes the OneNote "app" entirely from the machine. Check your default settings and it should be set to "OneNote (Desktop)" across the board.
