Microsoft has rolled out an update for the Sticky Notes Windows 10 app for Insiders in the Fast update ring. The new version contains a few improvements and fixes for the note-taking app.

Microsoft's Jen Gentlemen posted the patch notes for the new Sticky Notes update on her Twitter page:

Version 1.1.40

  • Performance Improvements: Opening the app and deleting notes are faster than ever before
  • Fixed: Rapidly toggling of the "Don't Ask Me Again" checkbox when deleting a note which would cause your selection to be ignored and default to never asking you again.
  • Fixed: Stock Prices could, on occasion, include only three significant figures. This is one too few, so now they always include four.

  • Thanks
  • you're welcome. if you also have a surface pro 4, do u have the handwriting personalization bug as well? Also on 14393.187
  • No, that's why I was a little bit puzzled. We have two Surface's and have no problem, but this seems to be a bug big enough for us to notice. :(
  • do you have the same problem?
  • Nice :)
  • Have you tried the feature where your hand written text is split into lines that you can re-arrange? It is the icon next to the + button. Click and then re-arrange your text. Very cool.
  • Any sign of the insights feature being available in the UK? That's one of the most powerful things about this v.s OneNote for quick notes and reminders
  • Nope, not that I can see :(
  • Why dont the inking options exists in the settings for me? I am able to use Sticky Notes but it doesn't appear whatsoever in the settings. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • What device are you using?
  • Hp pavilion dv7 Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • Same here, it appears that feature is the for the US only so far.
  • That's right, the "Insights" option is US only - I think hand writing a reminder for Cortana is US only too - it's supposed to be next to the New Reminder button in Cortana when you have a Pen
  • I'm in the USA so idk Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • Can anyone on Fast Ring confirm that when you close the note workspace, it actually closes notes?
  • Once again not getting any notifications from the Windows Central app on mobile. Seems like a daily issue. Why?
  • When for different language keyboards typing support
  • Ok when can we expect this on Windows Phone, and also when is the pen feature going to come?!
  • Love that this little feature is getting so much love from Microsoft after spending years just sitting buried under Windows accessories
  • What if you could add a pic to it as well. Well I guess you could use OneNote for that. But again, the Sticky Notes should have been a widget of OneNote and linked to cloud.
