uncheck PLACE ONENOTE ICON IN THE NOTIFICATION AREA OF THE TASKBAR
Have a nice day

What has been mentioned above only hides one note from the Notification area in the toolbar. In actuality, the given steps do not stop one note from starting at os startup.

The way to disable it is by
1) Open Settings (not control panel, however, there maybe could be something similar there too)
2) Search Startup (or just directly search ‘startup’ in the start menu if on windows 8 or above; windows 11 is a thing now lol)
3) Scroll through the shown apps and and just untick (or ‘un-slide’, whatever..) one note from there.

This does not stop OneNote from running at startup. It stops you from being able to SEE it on your computer. I

OneNote has no settings to control it starting automatically on login (unlike some other apps like Skype For Business). If it is starting automatically, then it has been added to some part of Windows that you need to remove it from like the STARTUP folder or a RUN reg entry. For details on how to fix this see: https://www.urtech.ca/2010/08/how-to-stop-programs-like-google-update-from-starting-automatically/

You could run through the startup programsand clear it out manually
