    Dear t_mae and All

    Frankly - after I got everything working as per cust_'s advice - I quietly reverted back to my little AutoHotkey script (not as elaborate as the one from Lee) but I find it now much smoother for me that the original Microsoft solution...)

    1 click = Onenote 2016 as always for taking notes when on the phone

    2 clicks = Microsoft's  snipping tool (with overlay screen selection activated) - which for me works perfect to annotate the 3D CAD files from our designers and just (without saving anything) copying them back into my answer mails (CAD screenshots and ink comments/corrections all included)

    =================

    #NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

    ; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.

    SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

    SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

    #F20:: run, onenote.exe

    #F19::

    run, snippingtool.exe

    sleep 300

    #IfWinActive ahk_class Microsoft-Windows-Tablet-SnipperToolbar

    Send !n

    Send r

    return

    #IfWinActive

    =================

    Thank you everybody and good luck - that Microsoft will fix this one day for good - and maybe even come up with a much more upgraded version of Surface Pen button customization...???

    Hey Guys,

    so far so good...

    Have you tested, if i wake up the tablet with the purple button it starts this f... onenote-cloud app again. then you have to do the whole procedure again plus manually setting the onenote-desktop-app as default.

    any ideas how to completely getting rid of the cloud app?

    cheers....

    I've scripted an (standalone) app for everyone, who needs or wants back the behavior before Windows 10.

    an install file (sfx):

    For version office 2016

    For version office 2013

    For version office 2013 pro plus

    Cloud: https://rwth-aachen.sciebo.de/index.php/s/w1FqpdZB4Wct929

    Password: cust_

    OneClick: Opens OneNote Desktop. If it is in front, oneclick creates a new page!

    DoubleClick: Selectable screenshot. -> sends to after selection to OneNote.

    its working after reboot too (Start up  - Autostart)

    Added support: office 2013 pro plus

    App Updated: 08.10.2015 @ 5:20 pm (gmt +2)

    Now: Better routine.

    Bug fixed: 1-Click waits for OneNote Desktop to create a new page.
