    Somehow I got this fixed. Here are some of the steps I took:

    Go to System settings (Windows key + a and select "All settings"

    Select "Default Apps" and then scroll down and select "Set defaults by app".

    Select OneNote (desktop) and select "Choose defaults for this program".

    Click the "Select All" and then save (nothing was really changed).

    Click save and close the dialogs.

    Right click on the OneNote icon in the system tray and select "OneNote icon defaults" and select "Open OneNote".

    I'm not sure if the default app jazz made a difference but I did this before the OneNote system tray icon icon.

    It seems to have fixed my issue, hope this fixes yours.

    that does not change the "Note" function to open the desktop onenote

    Note function uses "onenote-cmd" and that is not one of the lists for the "default"

    ah yes. Sorry.  Somehow this post drifted and morphed into the problem I and some other were having.

    That's great, but it has nothing to do with the default note option . . . Seems that you should have the ability to fix that to go to a specific desktop app.   The problem with the Metro Onenote is that you can't choose which tab the new notes are created.  You can choose notebook, but not tab.  Very annoying.

    I have the same issue. Does anyone know if Microsoft is aware of this and whether they are working on a fix?
