It’s surprising to see Microsoft reverse course on OneNote, but it’s clear that end users simply preferred the desktop app to the company’s UWP app. You can email the link to the people you want to.

Starting in March, Office 365 installs that include desktop apps will install the desktop OneNote 2016 version. Microsoft is even changing the way OneNote is installed as a result. This means OneNote 2016 will be supported until October 14th 2025 (in extended support). “We are continuing mainstream support for OneNote 2016 beyond October 2020, so that you can continue using the version of OneNote that works best for you,” explains a blog post from the OneNote team. The software maker released Office 2019 without any updates to the desktop version of OneNote, instead relying on the separate Universal Windows App for Windows 10. Microsoft has changed its mind on killing off the OneNote 2016 desktop app.
