[BUG] Fix OneNote 2010 Sync With OneDrive (aka All Sections Disappear Bug 2017)
As of May 2017, users of Microsoft OneNote 2010 that sync their notebooks with OneDrive are experiencing an issue where all sections in their notebooks disappear. Users then have to manually sync all their notebooks which some users report will restore their sections temporarily. Eventually their sections will disappear again usually after an hour or two.

If Uservoice is for feature requests, why do "Microsoft Community Agents" on the forums direct us to use UserVoice to report bugs?
OneNote Devs are saying this is fixed and judging by the number of 2020 comments, it clearly is not. But let's lock threads and just link one unhelpful article over and over.

Still not fixed for OneNote 2016. It's been happening on and off for days now in our business affairs department.

This problem is not fixed! This just happened to me this morning. I lost all of my notes for our biggest client right as I was calling in to a coordination meeting. Luckily they also use OneNote and also lost a lot of their information, so I guess Microsoft's incompetence is fairly affecting everyone. But rather than spreading the problem evenly to everyone, how about Microsoft just fix the problem for everyone!

Engineers closed this thread so users cannot vote anymore. What a shame!
Same time bug is not fixed. I am looking at the blank page right now where just few hours ago I had information. Sync does not help. Same time on my iPhone I still can see a content.
Guess, I will create new page on iPhone and copy content there. Nice work MS!
Most interesting is that Dany Khalife sent users to answers.microsoft.com while Dyan Rey (microsoft Agent from answers.microsoft.com ) sending users here...

NOT RESOLVED!
Using OneNote 2010 in a corporate environment and this is still happening to me (as of June 6th 2018).
I've been actively promoting the use of this software for ages but now cannot as it has become too unreliable - Microsoft are shooting their own software in the foot here - FIX IT.
Also, re. inappropriate posting here - was directed here by the OneNote Answer Forum.... catch 22 strikes again..... -

I was having this issue for months, but it appears to have gone now. I don't know why. What helped when I was having it was disabling automatic sync on my Windows install of ON. I would habitually sync-all before leaving the office. When I started doing that, although inconvenient, I stopped having the disappearing issue. I also use the app on android and OS X

For the OneNote team, this is a remarkably serious problem that needs to be prioritized.
