Microsoft’s Sticky Notes app for Windows 10 and 11 has recently undergone significant changes. The updated app, now integrated with OneNote, has faced criticism from users who feel it has lost some of the features that made it useful.
Windows 11 Sticky Notes Update Faces Backlash
Currently, the new Sticky Notes is in the testing phase through the Microsoft 365 Insider program. Despite being a preview, it is being rolled out to a wider audience, raising concerns about its premature release. The integration with OneNote means users are now required to interact with OneNote features, even if they prefer not to.

One of the primary concerns is the app’s performance. The redesigned version appears slower and less efficient, which undermines its purpose as a quick and simple note-taking tool. The slower interface has led to dissatisfaction among users who rely on the app for its speed and ease of use.
Additionally, there have been reports of notes no longer available after the update, which has only added to user frustration. While these issues may be available in a test version, users are urging Microsoft to resolve these problems promptly.
As a result, many users have reverted to the previous version of Sticky Notes, available on the Microsoft Store. This older version retains the features that users find valuable, while also offering OneNote syncing across devices.
The preview version of the redesigned app has sparked significant backlash, with users calling on Microsoft to address the performance issues before discontinuing the older version.
