Re: One Note

Is  one possibility to fix it that I should uninstall OneNote on my
phone then reinstall it? If so, exactly what should I do to be sure I
reinstall the correct version?

I'm using the latest version if Windows 11, and for a long time I've
had One Note running under it. I've also had One Note running on my
Pixel 4A, where it always synched to my desktop computer.
 
It's no longer synching. The Android now has about a 4 day old version
of notes that have had several recent changes.

Can you check the web version (onenote.com) and see if it's a sync problem
with Windows sending or Android receiving?

I went to onenote.com, but I don't see what version it is, nor do I

The desktop and web versions
sometimes provide status while it syncs, and see differences if there
was a merge failure.

I don't know why, but I just got a laptop computer running Windows 11,
where I installed One Note and it synchs to the desktop properly.
 
Can someone tell me what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Beware there are two Windows versions, 'legacy' and the UWP which is mostly
the web version in a wrapper. The latter was advertised as 'OneNote for
Windows 10' - MS were going to base future ON on that, and later changed
course to revive the legacy version (which has more features). Possibly you
have both versions which could behave differently?

I think I remember once seeing that I had two versions installed, but
I can't remember how or where I saw it, nor does that URL do a good
job of telling me how to find out. It's probably likely that that's my
problem. Can you be more explicit and tell me exactly what I should do
to find out and how to fix the problem? Thanks again.
