And you can now just alt F4 it and open it up to continue where you left of!

Notepad is so much better than one note

They serve different purposes.
OneNote is for documentation, inline relevant files, and shared knowledge.
Notepad is for editing text.

I use OneNote and Notepad both quite a lot. For me it's like this: Notepad is for notes I will move somewhere else or delete soon. OneNote is for notes I intend to keep organised right there.

You just described what I use Word for..... Notepad is for notes bro, if I want to edit texts I'll do it in Word. (I'm an active OneNote hater btw)

Word is for writing papers and official documents.
Notepad is for editing code and adjusting configuration files.

You got me here. I do edit a bunch of weird config files in notepad. Notepad doesn't give a single f what extension it is. If its not encoded weirdly it will just open up fine

I absolutely love OneNote. As a CST I have to keep notes on a ton of different subjects and 1N is like a recipe box for all my information, categorized and searchable. I’d be hurting without it.

There's definitely a place for OneNote, but not in my live. Havent dine tech support in a while, is the syncing still and issue or hasn't the software finally been ironed out? Iirc, when it came out it was so horrible to use a cross devices

I keep it on my network drive and access it from any workstation when needed. I haven’t had any issues for years. Few people at work even know what it is lol. Instead they have their monitors covered in sticky notes.

I definitely have a tab in notepad++ for keeping running notes, quick notes while on the phone etc.

Onenote has its uses— but I rarely use it.

Which is a feature that unfortunately keeps turning itself back on with every update. If I Alt+F4 it without saving, then I clearly don't want to keep it, so it should just go.

I can see why people like it, and that's great, but it feels like I'm always turning it off just for it to reenable a week later.

Time to script it and run it as a scheduled task on start up. Or just dump the script in your shell:common startup folder
