Where Sticky Notes are saved in Windows 10 1607

Question

It seems like Sticky Notes are no longer saved in %AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\

I even did a search for *.SNT with no results.

It seems like Microsoft have changed the way Windows handles Notes. Anyone know where the notes are saved now and how to backup/restore them?

Answer 1

Use this document to transfer Sticky Notes data file StickyNotes.snt to the new format

Restore:

%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState

• Close Sticky Notes
• Create a new folder named Legacy
• Under the Legacy folder, copy your existing StickyNotes.snt, and rename it to ThresholdNotes.snt
• Start the Sticky Notes app. It reads the legacy .snt file and transfers the content to the database file automatically.

Backup

just backup following file.

%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\plum.sqlite
