Issue with my microsoft onenote account
I originally used OneNote with a Microsoft account linked to:
My main notebook was:
SEMESTER 2
After changing from old PC to new laptop, OneNote initially synced correctly.
Later OneNote started showing:
SIGN IN REQUIRED
and:
NOTEBOOK EDIT DENIED
Sync stopped working:
OneNote notebooks became read-only
Word AutoSave stopped persisting
OneDrive sign-in became unstable
When trying to sign into Microsoft:
sometimes Microsoft said:
We couldn't find a Microsoft account
sometimes it showed:
Something went wrong [7q6ca] error
OneDrive/Office repeatedly failed authentication
A strange identity/email appeared during Microsoft sign-in:
which I do not recognize.
In OneNote app:
notebooks were still locally visible but cloud permissions failed
OneNote showed the notebook owner/access problems
I logged into another Microsoft account:
OneDrive under 7yyyyyyyyyyyy7@gmail.com worked normally.
I discovered:
OneDrive sync itself was functional but the old notebook permissions/account linkage were corrupted
We (chatgpt and me ✌️) performed troubleshooting:
cleared Credential Manager Microsoft credentials
reset OneDrive
removed cached Microsoft accounts from Windows
re-signed into OneDrive
verified OneDrive syncing works
OneDrive now successfully works with:
Word AutoSave and OneDrive storage was not normal yet as it showed AutoSave was off on word even when I connect to my 7yyyyyyyyyyyy7@gmail.com and switch it on by connecting to oneDrive personal.
The old notebook:
SEMESTER 2
still shows:
NOTEBOOK EDIT DENIED
inside OneNote.
I exported/backed up the old notebook data safely into a new notebook/package.
I imported/recreated the notes into a new notebook:
unit1
under:
The new notebook syncs correctly in OneDrive and is accessible online.
Conclusion so far:
IDK what happened to my actual sem 2 notes on onenote and how to solve it
