Where are Sticky Notes’ settings?
QIn Issue 545 Problems Solved (page 65) you explained to Peter Wakefield the purpose of the Insights feature, in the Sticky Notes app. Well, I use this app and I quite like the sound of that feature. However, I have no idea how to reach the Settings page that he mentioned. All I see are the sticky notes themselves. To create a new note, I click the plus (‘+’) button on an existing note.
It hadn’t occurred to me until reading Peter’s question that there might be more settings to explore – so how do I do it?

AAs with so many things in Windows 10, the solution isn’t obvious until someone explains it, so we’re happy to help. In this case the secret is to first rightclick the icon that’ll appear in the Windows taskbar whenever you’re running the Sticky Notes app, and then click Settings (see screenshot).
Alternatively, and for an additional tip, you can first click on any note and then click the menu button (three dots) at the top right. Now click ‘Notes list’ to see a full roster of your stickies – that’s the extra tip, incidentally.
However, this list also provides another way to reach the Settings pane, which is simply by clicking the Settings cog at the top. To return to the notes list, click the left arrow alongside Settings; or, to close Settings, just click the cross at the top right.
