OneNote for Windows finally gets Dynamic DPI support

If you juggle OneNote across multiple displays, Microsoft just made your day. The company has added Dynamic DPI support to OneNote for Windows, meaning the app will now scale properly across different screens without blurring or hiccups.

This upgrade covers more than just the main text area. Section tabs, the notebook panel, dropdowns, and even Copilot Notebooks now look crisp when dragged between monitors of different resolutions. No app restart or fiddling required.

Dynamic DPI support is already a familiar feature in other Microsoft 365 apps like Word and Excel. Now, OneNote catches up—something multi-monitor users have been asking for. Microsoft confirmed the addition was based on user feedback, and it’s now rolling out to Current Channel users with Version 2504 (Build 16.0.18827.20042) or later.

There’s also a small but welcome bonus for people setting up OneNote on a new device. The app will now offer a list of your five most recently used notebooks on first launch. You can open them instantly with one click. If you’ve got more, there’s the option to pick and choose which ones to load.

Microsoft says it’s already working on improvements to this onboarding feature, so it’ll only get better over time. For power users or anyone hopping between screens all day, these changes are a quiet but meaningful step forward in making OneNote feel more seamless.
