One Note - Hiding completed tasks once completed on Desktop

I completely agree - this is basic functionality that is required to make this usable as a To Do list. Is a fix coming anytime soon - it is doing my head in!

Where in One Note desktop version is the hide completed tasks from To Do lists. On my phone the completed tasks disappear but on the desktop they all remain making this a useless very long To Do list - finding open tasks is awful. Having to fully delete Tasks in To Do lists in Desktop OneNote leaves no record of ever doing the task. Often I want to check when I completed it - particularly with my work account. There should be an option in the ribbon to hide completed To Do's once completed. If it does exist I would love to know how to do it as I can't find it. 

I have started using OneNote at work and on my personal account for organising and recording daily activities and this flaw is making me have to look at alternatives for To Do lists which is a shame, as the mobile version seems to have the functionality.

Please I want this feature too!!!

They need to fix this simple little issue as it creates issues with workflows.

Please either create this feature or tell us it's not going to happen, MicroSoft. Not getting a reaction is just annoying.

I too am having the same issue.  Our organization just changed our iphone access to apps, so we no longer have reminders.  I started using OneNote for To Do lists, but when I complete the task and check the box the item is hidden on the iphone app, but not on the desktop version.  The workaround suggested is inadequate; you can search and then create a summary of the unchecked items; however, formatting is lost and items from different pages are all lumped together.  You would need to create this summary anew each time you wanted to see only the unchecked tasks. Very cumbersome.  Why can't Microsoft make the desktop version work the same as the mobile phone app?  

Microsoft, please respond!  Many users have weighed in and would like the same functionality as the iphone mobile OneNote app--hide the checked tasks. 

Thank you,
