Ensure “Enable Insights” is set to “On” if you want to use this feature. To check if Insights are enabled, click the “…” menu icon in a note and click the gear-shaped settings icon at the bottom left corner of the note.

This feature is called “Insights”, and it’s enabled by default. Sticky Notes works along with Cortana, Windows 10’s integrated virtual assistant, to provide more information. You just have to start with an empty note-every note can either contain typed text or something drawn with the stylus, but not both. If your Windows device has a pen or stylus, you can draw or write notes directly in a sticky note.

You can also resize notes by clicking and dragging or touching and dragging at a corner, making them as small or large as you like. Move note windows around on your desktop by clicking and dragging (or touching and dragging) the title bar. Just click-and-drag or touch-and-drag the title bar to move them, or click-and-drag or touch-and-drag a corner of the window to resize them. These windows can be moved or resized as normal. To change the color of a note, click the “…” menu button and select one of the color circles. To delete the current note, click the trash can button.

To create a new note, click the “+” button. You can type whatever you want into the note and Windows will save your note for later. By default, you’ll see a yellow sticky note. To show the Windows Ink Workspace button if you can’t see it, right-click your taskbar and select “Show Windows Ink Workspace Button”. Click or tap the ink icon on your taskbar and select “Sticky Notes”. Sticky Notes can also be launched from the Windows Ink Workspace, if you have a Windows device with a pen.
