    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

    I fiddle around this a bit and found the way :)

    Go to Setting - System - Defaults Apps

    At the bottom choose Set defaults by app

    Select OneNote(Desktop) and then press Set this program as default. This will give the program all defaults

    Next time you start OneNote(desktop) you will once again be asked if you want to set tit to default. Choose to set it to default and the messages goes away for good!

    Instead of making it default which doesn't seem to work properly you could just uninstall the Metro OneNote.

    This is not possible via standard way (Settings->System->Apps & Features) as the option to uninstall is disabled.

    Instead you may do so by starting the Powershell as Administrator and run:

     Get``-AppxPackage *OneNote* | Remove``-AppxPackage

    Thanks, this did work to get rid of the other onenote program, but I still can't set onenote desktop as the default app for the "onenote-cmd" protocol (so the pen button opens onenote).  In fact, that no longer shows up on the list when I try to set default applications by protocol. Any ideas on that part?
