After Windows update 1903 Sticky Notes opens in different windows
As you mentioned, installing the old app may be the best solution;
Open Elevated Powershell [
windows key + X
,Windows Powershell (Admin)
].Remove existing app
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes | Remove-AppxPackage
Install old app (this is from my computer, if does not work review own app folder in second section),
Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_3.1.54.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
From memory you will also need to disable apps from updating, this can be done in STORE (maybe pro only) or turn off app provisioning;
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.PackageName -like "*StickyNotes*"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online
Source One, Source Two
To review old apps:
- Take ownership of
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps
tutorial here. Replace

of step 3 above with desired app version.Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\APP-NAME-HERE\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
