The OneNote 2016 desktop app has an odd little bug that prevents it from saving local backups. The app takes regular local backups so that you never lose your notes and notebooks. If you have sync enabled across devices or to OneDrive, the local backup may be slightly less important but important nevertheless. OneNote backs up everything automatically but you can also force it to take a back-up anytime. If you\u2019re experiencing this bug, the app\u00a0fails to create local backups of your notebooks. Fortunately, there is a simple way to fix OneNote not saving local backups. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

This is a bug that only plagues OneNote for the desktop. The\u00a0bug doesn\u2019t appear on the OneNote UWP app bundled with Windows 10 simply because it doesn\u2019t have a local backup feature.<\/p>\n

To fix OneNote not saving local backups, open the app and go to File>Options. Select the \u2018Save & Backup\u2019 tab from the left. Under the \u2018Backup\u2019 section, look for the \u2018Back up notebooks stored on SharePoint\u2019 option and check it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Click the \u2018Back Up All Notebook Now\u2019 button below this option and OneNote will save the backup this time around.\u00a0A confirmation message appears on your screen to let you know the backup was created successfully.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a known bug. The backups fail to save regardless if you use SharePoint or not. This option is for those that use SharePoint but it seems to interfere with the local backup function even if you don\u2019t use SharePoint.<\/p>\n

Enabling this option rectifies the interference that is being caused. The bug has been around for awhile and so far this is the only available fix.\u00a0The bug itself is a significant problem but because the fix is simple to apply, you won\u2019t hear too many OneNote users complaining about it.<\/p>\n

If this is the first you\u2019re hearing about this bug, it\u2019s probably a good idea to check this option out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
