How to Enable Insights in Microsoft Sticky Notes
You enable Insights in Microsoft Sticky Notes by signing into your Microsoft account within the app.
Insights transforms your Sticky Notes from simple text reminders into interactive tools that recognize dates, times, phone numbers, and addresses. This feature connects your typed information directly to relevant actions in other Windows applications.
For example, typing “tomorrow 3 PM” will offer a direct link to create a calendar event. This functionality helps you manage tasks and information more efficiently right from your notes, leveraging the power of Microsoft services.
To get started with Insights, ensure you are using a recent version of Sticky Notes (version 3.0 or later is recommended) and have signed in with your Microsoft account. This connection unlocks the smart recognition capabilities.
Ensure you are signed into Sticky Notes with your Microsoft account. Insights will then automatically activate, making dates, times, and addresses in your notes interactive.
What are insights on Sticky Notes?
With Insights turned on, when users type notes that contain a date, time, phone number, or address, Sticky Notes uses Microsoft services to offer enhancements to the note, such as creating a reminder in Cortana if a date is recognized.
How do I turn off typing insights?
You can turn off Typing Insights by going to Settings > Time & Language > Typing > Typing Insights and toggling it off. For stricter privacy control, you can also disable it via Registry, Group Policy, or PowerShell.
