Question

https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/onenote/XPFFZHVGQWWLHBI'm using this version of OneNote (not OneNote 365) and so my problem is that I can't turn off pen pressure sensitivity, although I once did. I have two users on a laptop and with exactly the same graphics tablet settings, but OneNote works without pressure sensitivity in one and with pressure sensitivity enabled in the other. I know that this can be adjusted in version 365, but how can I do it in another version?

Hello HearLucifer,

Thank you for letting us know that the prior solution did not help resolve the issue. We do have other strategies to try.

Allow us to ask few questions so that we can further isolate the issue and help get to the bottom of this.

1. Can you send us the screenshot of the OneNote application installed in your device?
2. Can you tell us the make and model of the device you are using?
3. Can you send us screen recording when using pen and upload it in OneDrive so that we can further check?
4. With the other user you have mention, are you using the same version of OneNote application?
5. Did you replace the older version of OneNote for Windows?

Additionally, try these steps to turn off pen sensitivity pressure:

• Open OneNote for Windows.
• Click on the “Draw” tab.
• Click on “Pen” and select the pen you want to modify.
• Click on “More” and select “Pen Settings”.
• In the Pen Settings window, turn off the “Use pen pressure sensitivity” option.

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.

Sincerely,
