Why does OneNote now require an active internet connection - Surface Pro 2 - Windows 10

Use my SP2 at work for taking notes in the meetings i have to attend.
Used onenote for this for ages and its been brilliant. Now since i upgraded to W10 i now have to have an active internet connection to be able to even start OneNote. This doesnt work for me as i cant connect to work wi-fi (NHS employee) and in some places in the middle of the hospital 3G is none-existant.

Why has this changed now - it was great before hand - i could sync when i got back to my desk and update it across my devices after the meeting.

Preview app on preview OS is the short answer.


Longer answer, use the non-preview version of OneNote.

Welcome, guest. Note that you haven't "upgraded to W10"; you've opted to install an "alpha" or "beta" version of an operating system, etc. I'd expect some early-adopter/ beta-tester hassles, along with the new goodies. Your report is probably helpful to Microsoft and the community. Good luck with the OneNote hassle, and enjoy the new features.
