OneNote saves everything it was designed that way from Day One. It’s unlikely that something has truly been erased. More likely that the page, section or notebook is hiding away somewhere in the depths of OneNote. The trick is knowing where to look. After previously installing Office 2019 on a PC running any edition of Windows 10, OneNote appears to be missing from the list of installed desktop applications. After installing Microsoft Office 2019 or Office 365 on a PC running any edition of Windows 10, OneNote 2016 appears to be missing from the list of installed desktop applications.
- OneNote 2016 Missing I recently had to uninstall Office Pro Plus (aka Office 365) from my computer and after reinstalling Office from the Office.com site I no longer have OneNote2016, my only option is OneNote that is installed on Windows 10 which as you all know is a very slim downed version of 2016.
- Oct 25, 2018 An upgrade happened and OneNote 2016 is no longer included with the Office 365 or Office 2018 installations. Microsoft is encouraging users to use the Windows 10 OneNote app instead. However, if you want to use the desktop version, you can download it at If you use 32-bit Office, click the Windows Desktop link.

OneNote menubar is missing after installing Office 2019 or Office 365
The Problem:
Onenote Disappeared From Windows 10
Deezer 3 months free trial. The menubar in OneNote prior to version 2019 looks more like this (version 2010 below):
File, Home, Insert, Share Chrome update 2021. etc on the menubar. Logical right. Notebooks are on the left side, Sections (tabs) are at the top, and Pages are on the far right. A clean simple layout.
And this is what it looks like after installing the new 2019 version of Office or Office 365 in a Windows 10 environment. Microsoft felt the need to remove this logical layout, and replace it with the APP design which looks like this: How to fix not secure website.
Note the Menubar only shows Home, Insert, Draw and View. This is OneNote APP version that is preinstalled in Windows 10, as opposed to the Desktop Version. Also the Notebooks, Sections, and pages all fly out from the left, see below:
The Cause:
Onenote Missing
Apparently, if you HAD OneNote 2016 and Office 365 upgraded you to version 2019 automatically, OneNote 2016 stayed untouched. HOWEVER, when you install 2019 FRESH it comes with the ‘new and improved’ APP variation of OneNote which comes free with Windows 10.

At any point, you can install OneNote 2016 for free – but it has to be downloaded and installed separately. Not sure what the logic was here, but the APP version is not nearly as user friendly as the familiar desktop version.
