Make sure you run regular system backups to prevent this from happening. If anything happens to your hard drive, however, the notes may be lost. Sticky Notes automatically saves notes you create, so they can be restored each time you restart your machine. Once the system update is complete, launch Sticky Notes by clicking the Windows button, and scrolling to Microsoft Sticky Notes (see image above).Īlternatively, if you are in the Microsoft Store, you can launch from here by searching for “Microsoft Sticky Notes,” then clicking the “Launch” button. Double-check this by closing and saving any open files, then clicking the Windows icon, followed by the “settings” icon, and going to the “Update and Security” section. If your system is up to date, it should already include the latest version of Sticky Notes (2.x). Luckily, there is an easy way to fix this (see below). Windows 7/8 veterans who have used previous iterations of this app may find that their notes don’t automatically copy across to the new version. Users of Surface Pens will find that Sticky Notes faithfully preserve your scrawlings in your own handwriting.
If you are dabbling in investments, Sticky Notes can also provide you with the latest stock prices. If you’ve written down any phone numbers, just click these inside any note to automatically make a call via Skype or similar.
