- Check the permissions of the folder/file in which you are trying to open or embed the file. Make sure that they are accessible to the user from which you are trying to open/embed the file.
- Change the name of the file. Remove special characters and rename the file to something simpler
- Make sure you are running the latest version of OneNote. Run the Windows Update and check for latest updates.
- If there is an issue with OneNote installation, repair/reinstall it.
- Make sure the device meets the system requirements.
- Check your internet connection. Make sure that you have a connection to your cloud storage and your device.
