Disable Sticky Notes Preview window?

jimbobnh · 25 Oct 2019

New to Win10 and struggle with the new sticky notes. I always get a preview window that I have to x out to use sticky note. Can't seem to find a way to stop it. I miss the Sticky Notes I had in win7.

Can the preview pane be stopped from showing every time I open?

Here I've clicked notes list:

Then I close the note, then the Preview window. When I next launch Sticky Notes I see just

Thanks that worked first time. Now one more issue with the touch pad. I'll have to make a new post for that.
