OneNote 2013 has stopped working

I am an avid user of OneNote, part of Microsoft Office Suite. I use it on my desktop, laptop, IPad (OneNote app) and keep it synced – its wonderful!

Recently my OneNote 2013 has been crashing on startup with error message “OneNote 2013 has stopped working”.

How I fixed it:

I cleared the OneNote cache.

Start -> Run (Windows key + R)

OneNote /safeboot

Delete Notebook Cache (make sure you backup your OneNote files)

Start OneNote normally again, it worked 🙂
