After installing onenote on Win-10 (latest update), Microsoft OneNote Namespace Extension for Windows Desktop Search icon appears on desktop:
And even after deleting, it automatically restores back over and over again. It doesn't even have properties to hide. Any known solution to permanently remove it?
Refer from reddit and superuser websites.
Open Start, type regedit and press enter
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
(Optional: backup the registry tree section. Right-click Namespace, click Export, then save the file. If something goes wrong, you can double click that file to restore the registry)
Search for the folder name. Example: Microsoft OneNote Namespace Extension for Windows Desktop Search. Fully or partial and make sure that it does matched.
Delete that key (will have a name that looks like {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx})
The folder should disappear immediately.
Maybe restart once to make sure that it did not come back.
