Having OneNote start up by default everytime you sign into Windows is obnoxious.  If you want to get rid of the OneNote icon in system tray / notification area permanently:

  1. Launch OneNotehow-to-disable-onenote-icon-system-tray-startup
  2. Click FILE
  3. Click OPTIONS
  4. Click DISPLAY
  5. uncheck PLACE ONENOTE ICON IN THE NOTIFICATION AREA OF THE TASKBAR
  6. Have a nice day

What has been mentioned above only hides one note from the Notification area in the toolbar. In actuality, the given steps do not stop one note from starting at os startup.

The way to disable it is by
1) Open Settings (not control panel, however, there maybe could be something similar there too)
2) Search Startup (or just directly search ‘startup’ in the start menu if on windows 8 or above; windows 11 is a thing now lol)
3) Scroll through the shown apps and and just untick (or ‘un-slide’, whatever..) one note from there.

This does not stop OneNote from running at startup. It stops you from being able to SEE it on your computer. I
