If you’re having problems with sticky notes (for example, sticky notes won’t open or get stuck after a while), try these simple solutions and the problem will be resolved pretty quickly.
Back-Up Sticky Notes Files
Future solutions will delete all the notes you saved on Sticky Notes. So don’t go to the backup step. To copy your old notes to a safe place (text, Word or Excel …), you can find the note files in% appdata% \ Microsoft \ Sticky Notes \ StickyNotes.snt (on Windows 7/8/10 and before Windows 10 1607 update ) or C: \ Users \% username% \ AppData \ Local \ Packages \ Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe \ LocalState \ plum.sqlite (on Windows 10, version 1607 and newer). Then copy the files to a different folder.
