Exporting OneNote notebook as a "OneNote Single File Package" error

Question

Hi, I am not able to export my OneNote notebook as a "OneNote Single File Package". I keep getting this error: "Sorry, we can't create |0. It's possible you don't have the right permissions or enough disk space." I definitely have the disk space and it is my personal file so I should have the right permission. I used to have no problems doing this, but now I can't seem to get it to work. Thanks for the advice.

Answer 1

I am not sure. OneNote substituted "|0" in for the actual file name in the error message. It does the exact same thing for all my Notebooks. All of the Notebooks have regular characters and numbers and no symbols.

Hello Stryderis,    

Thank you for your swift response.

It seems that you're on a Windows 11 version right now. Have you reinstall OneNote from the link I have provided?

To better isolate the issue can you please create a new Windows user profile and try to export notebooks from there? Please give it a try because there's a possibility that your Windows profile is corrupted due to a Windows upgrade.

Answer 3

What is that ?

The 1st character is not allowed in Windows file names.

What have I done so far:
