All affected groups: WSU users utilizing the OneNote for Windows 10 application

All affected processes:

  • Only OneNote for Windows 10 is affected by this change. Microsoft will continue to support the OneNote application included with Microsoft 365, Windows 11, or installed via the Microsoft Store. Learn more about the differences between OneNote versions.
  • Access to OneNote for Windows 10 will be limited to read-only following the change date. OneNote for Windows 10 will no longer receive new security updates, bug fixes, new functionality, or feature enhancements.

Duration of impact: This is a permanent, Microsoft-driven change.

Necessary follow-up steps: Impacted users are encouraged to:

  1. Confirm OneNote Version: Open OneNote and check for the File option at the top left of the application. If the File option is available, the supported version of OneNote is in use. If the File option is not available, OneNote for Windows 10 is in use. 
  2. Transition to a Supported OneNote Version: Download the supported OneNote application from the Microsoft Store or access OneNote via a web browser. Sign in using WSU credentials.
  3. Verify Notebook Migration: Open notebooks and confirm that all content synced correctly to the supported OneNote application. If any content is missing, open OneNote for Windows 10, right-click the notebook, and select Sync Now.
  4. Uninstall OneNote for Windows 10: After verifying that all notes are synced in the supported OneNote application, uninstall this legacy version.
