Anyone know if a good desktop widget/sticky for to-do list (for Windows 10 PC)

[DesiPower]

I am in need of one and Google is returning me some results but they are mostly unknown origin, not sure if I can trust them. I also keep reading that OneNote can do it but I cant seem to find the option... Has anyone here one? can someone recommend one?

There's one in Windows 10 but I think it needs an MS account. You can find it on the action center on the default settings.

- edit - not sure if it's a widget like the one that came with Win7. As soon as I saw it needed an MS account, I rolled my eyes and moved on.

I use Wunderlist. They have mobile apps for all platforms including Windows 10. All instances sync really well unlike most apps I have used over the years.

What is action center? How do I get there?
What is MS account? I have full blown MS office 2016 on my PC, will that work?

Looks like a neat program, but can I put a sticky/widget on my desktop. Like can I see a list whenever everything is minimized?

You could install rainmeter and then use sticky notes, ex.: http://charliedogfhhfd.deviantart.com/art/Notes-Plus-for-Rainmeter-267913371

The little icon near the clock that looks like a speech box. Click on it and it shows you any notifications. It also shows you a whole slew of big square buttons that do various things; one of them is labelled 'Note'.

MSO2016 should have OneNote already, though I don't think that does widget type notes. I think they both have the same name but I doubt that MS would provide the same app with both Win10 and MSO.

MS account = Microsoft Account.

Good to know. I wonder why MS included two 'Note'-type functions in Win10.

Seems very interesting, I do use this for system monitoring, so it wont any extra work. It did cross my mind that RM might have something like that, but some of them are too customized and skinned for my liking, but I will definitely try this out, thanks.

This is nice, no idea MS had something like this, again, it proves now poor their marketing strategy is... All the googling and binging didn't show me this result... or maybe I failed at it. Thanks, started using it already!
