Jan 16, 2020 Apple and Microsoft are not the best of friends, so you’d be forgiven for giving the new Edge web browser a miss on the Mac. But when we put it. Mar 22, 2019 Microsoft Sticky Notes version 3.1.55.0 is broken. I tried resetting it in Settings/Apps&Features to no avail. Settings will not let me uninstall. I have lost all of my previous notes which were working in version 1803. This is very annoying. I tried Sticky Notes 8 from the Microsoft Store, but it is a real loser with ads that you can't turn off.
Gone are the days when you had to rely on Google Drive or simple copy-paste method to move your Sticky Notes from one computer to another. Now you can do it without any external help using Sticky Notes 3.0+.
Last year, Microsoft launched an upgraded version of Sticky Notes (3.0) with its October 2018 Update (version 1809). The new Sticky Notes comes with interesting features such as dark mode, formatting, and search. Not only that, but it also offers the capability to sync notes to other computers, Android phones, and iPhone.
Whether you want to sync sticky notes to your macOS, Windows 7/8, or another Windows 10 computer, we are here to help. There are three ways to share the notes. Let’s check them out one by one.
First things first, this method only works on Windows 10 computers as previous versions of Windows and macOS do not support the updated Sticky Notes app.
Now to share and sync Sticky Notes with other Windows 10 computers, all you need to do is login to Sticky Notes 3.0+ on both the computers with your Microsoft account. When you do that, your Sticky Notes will automatically appear on the new device. Awesome, right?
However, remember that the changes you make on any computer will reflect on the second computer too, as the notes are continuously syncing.
Step 1: Launch the Sticky Notes app on your Windows 10 desktop or laptop. If the app is missing, install it from the following link by clicking on the Get button on the Microsoft page.
We suggest updating the installed app from the link above before proceeding. You will see the Update button (after hitting Get) if an update is available.
Step 2: If Sticky Notes appears on your desktop, follow this step. Otherwise, if you see a single window holding your Sticky Notes, go to step three.
Tap on the three-dot icon present at the top of any note and select Notes list from the menu.
Step 3: On the Sticky Notes list screen, tap on the settings gear icon at the top.
Step 4: On the next screen, click on Sign in and log in with your Microsoft account.
Step 5: Repeat the above steps for your other Windows 10 computers. The notes will automatically show up there. Just make sure you are using the updated Sticky Notes app on every computer.
Another way to share Sticky Notes is to use the Outlook app for Windows and macOS.
Here’s what you need to do.
Step 1: I’m assuming you want to share your Windows Sticky Notes to other devices. So kindly update the Sticky Notes app and sign in to it as shown above.
Step 2: Open the Outlook app on your computer and log in with the same account that you use with your Sticky Notes.
Step 3: In the Outlook app, click on the Notes icon present at the bottom. If it’s not available, click on the three-dot icon first and then click on the Notes icon.

The method has a drawback that you need to visit the website every time. To avoid that, you can create your own Sticky Notes app using Chrome (as shown below). A shortcut icon will be added on your desktop. Click it to directly view your notes saved on Sticky Notes in a separate window.
Step 1: Launch the Google Chrome browser on your PC and open https://www.onenote.com/stickynotes.

Step 3: A pop-up box will open. Click on Create.

In case you aren’t able to share notes using any of the three methods, we suggest troubleshooting Sticky Notes using the following ways.
As mentioned before, the sync facility is available only on Sticky Notes 3.0+ and above. So update the app from the Microsoft store.
If the app is updated, yet the notes do not sync, sign out of the Sticky Notes on both the sides. Then log in again. To sign out, go to Sticky Notes Settings and click on Sign out. Hopefully, that should fix it.
Sometimes due to slow internet, the sync doesn’t happen automatically or in real time. To manually sync notes, go to Sticky Notes Settings and then hit the Sync now option.
Tip: Under Sticky Notes Settings, enable Dark mode for your notes.Well, that's how you can sync your Sticky Notes with other computers. Fortunately, the notes are accessible on your phones (Android and iPhone) too using the OneNote apps.
I hope everything goes well. However, if bad luck ever dawns on you making you lose your precious Sticky Notes, recover them using these methods.
