When you open Sticky Notes, you'll get a transparent canvas with a new Sticky Note. In the old version, you could simply use your keyboard to type the note you want, but now you can also use your pen to write your notes. However, on the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, we're getting a brand new version with more features, improvements, and even integration with Cortana. The first app in Windows Ink is Sticky Notes, which is very similar to the Sticky Notes that we had since Windows Vista. We have already covered in more detail all the Pen & Windows Ink settings options, which we also recommend you to check to customize and make the most of Windows Ink. This is perhaps the first thing you want to click to configure whether you're right- or left-handed person, as well as to control different effects, and various aspects of the active pen.
The settings button is only available for touch-enabled devices, such as Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book.
