I was wondering if anyone had any insight or advice in regards to OneNote crashing so frequently. I am using a MacBook Pro (15 inch-2016) 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 (Radeon Pro 460). I have tried to follow Microsofts advice in regards to this problem () but it has not fixed my problem. I am using OneNote for Mac 2016 Version 15.30 (170107). I am currently in Medical School and heavily rely on OneNote between my iPad and Laptop.

I compile all my handwritten lecture notes, my textbook notes, and self-study notes on OneNote. When it works, it's excellent for providing easy access to my notes from multiple devices.

However, lately OneNote has begun crashing more and more frequently. It's to the point where the software is barely usable. I will get around 3-5 minutes worth of work done and the app will crash. It is extremely frustrating. All my notes over the past two years are in OneNote and I would rather not switch to different software if I can find a solution to make OneNote function properly again.

It is extremely appreciated! UPDATE: Okay I think I found a solution! I have updated to the experimental 'fast update group' and ALSO went to OneNote > Preferences > Enable experimental features (turned off).

I think it was turning OFF the experimental features that made OneNote more stable for me. Unfortunately, I did not turn this off before updating to the 'fast update group'.

Nevertheless, I haven't had a crash in hours. Hope this helps out everyone whom was experiencing similar issues. Okay I think I found a solution!

Rips out hair I was using OneNote for all my medical study notes too.

I had the exact same problem. I found the issue started after the last update about a month ago, the app crashes constantly and unpredictably, especially after hitting 'return'.

I have reported the problem to Microsoft (no response) and to Apple (no response). I've also tried their suggested fix (unhelpful): () My solution: I've switched to Evernote. I far prefer OneNote, and Evernote is not free, but at least it doesn't crash. 'Experimental features' are currently turned ON, so I'll try turning them OFF. I've also requested to 'fast update'. Will update re improvements.

ComeAndGetThem, sorry to hear OneNote is crashing that often for you. As I've suggested to other Mac users that suffer Office 365 issues on their Mac, you do have another option. You can try, install the (free trial) version of Windows 10, upgrade to Office 365 Home, and with luck it will all work.

Just like it has for me. Your Macbook Pro has the raw power to do it, there's no cost up front to try it, and within a few days your Windows version should be able to fix whatever is going wrong with your Mac version. At the very least, the Windows version will allow you to download and save your notebooks. After that, even if you can't fix the Mac version, then you can just continue to use the Windows version. Which, in case you're asking, I use both. The Mac on a daily basis and the Windows when I want Windows exclusive features.
