How do I open the OneNote notebook on OneDrive in OneNote 2021?

I am having the identical issue, with a slight variation in the circumstances. I am using Office Home and Student 2021, recently installed on a new Windows 11 computer. I can see my OneNote Notebook from the web page fine, so I know it is in the cloud OK. (Plus of course I can see my Notebook through the OneNote app on my old Windows 10 computer, which is what syncs up to the cloud.) But I cannot get the OneNote on my new computer to see an existing notebook, even though OneNote shows the Account information that confirms the account associated with my Notebook. There is no option for opening a Cloud notebook in OneDrive on the file open page, or anywhere else that I can find.

I repeatedly tried to attach the screenshot in png or jpg, but it fails every time, so I can't show the requested screenshot. Here's a description instead: "Open Notebook" appears at the top in bold. The available options are "Recent", then a light grey line, then "Other locations" in bold, with "This PC" and "Browse" as the two selectable options underneath. There is no OneDrive location option.

Oluwatosin, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that didn't work, as I don't have an option to "Open from OneDrive" in my OneNote app acquired as part of Office Professional Plus 2021. The only selections available to me are to open from "Recent", "This PC", or "Browse". I'm logged into my microsoft account in a web browser and see all my OneNote content in the web page, but can't get the desktop app to locate it.

Also, I checked my Office account status (File --> Account) and it shows that my desktop OneNote app IS signed in using my hotmail account email address

Show us a screenshot of your File -> Open page.
