To be fair it never left! It was just available as a Universal Window Platform (UWP) App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a BIG deal back in 2018 when Microsoft announced OneNote will no longer be a part of Office 365 and will instead be only available as in the Windows Store as a UWP app. Many of the features of the full desktop app were missing and this was a challenge for many. (I myself never updated to the UWP app and continued to use the desktop version hoping someday in the future I will deal with it) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To my (and I think everyone’s surprise) Microsoft announced in early November 2019<\/a> that it will bring back the full desktop version with the release of Office 365 or Office 2019 in March 2020. YEAH!!! Further, With the new re-release, OneNote 2016 will be supported until October 14th 2025 (in extended support) YEAH!!! YEAH!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in March 2020, when you install Office 365 or Office 2019, the OneNote desktop app will be installed alongside the Word, PowerPoint, and Excel desktop apps. <\/p> OneNote 2016 is missing after installing Office 365 or Office 2019 <\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In fact if you have a active subscription to Office 365 or Office 2019 you can download the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version right now!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking it up a couple of levels, Universal Windows Platform was a concept and platform that Microsoft introduces back in 2018 in which according to Microsoft, developers would be able to “write once” and run their apps on many devices ( phones, tablets, PCs, and Xbox ). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the explanation given by Daniel Rubio on his November 2019 post: Microsoft’s Universal Windows Platform is not dead, but it has evolved over the years<\/a> in which explains why Microsoft has pivoted away from UWP <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OneNote is simply the latest example of Microsoft going back to desktop apps over its UWP alternatives. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
