Question

How to Uninstall OneNote.

Dec 24, 2016 2:34AM PST

I use Windows 10 within which is packed "OneNote" which among other things offers the opportunity to scan, select, paste and edit via OCR. I know it works because when I first used it a day ago I scanned the page of a book and carried out certain actions which regrettably I did not note the end result of which was a near perfect copy.
Since then try as hard as I have I have not been able to make it work.
So, can anyone offer me any guidance?

If you want to uninstall it, go to Control Panel>Programs and Features, look for the version of MS Office that is installed, and click that. Then you should be able to uninstall individual components.

MS Office comes up as one application, call it what you will, not individual components.

However during install it usually asks me which parts to install and SOMETIMES on uninstall there is a repair option to try.

Microsoft has been hit or miss on this area.
