Windows 10 OneNote Sorry something went wrong

Created Windows 10 Enterprise VM using a local account then associated with Live ID/Microsoft Account, then dis-associated again as I was using the wrong ID. Re-associated with another account, it seems to work but OneNote is having problem. Error shows like:

Sorry, something went wrong.

We are unable to sign you in. Please try again later.

Re-tried and re-tried nothing works. The workaround is to uninstall and then reinstall OneNote. Unfortunately, OneNote is one of the built in applications and cannot be removed using Apps & Features in SYSTEM settings. To uninstall, drop to PowerShell with elevated/administrative privileges and run the following:

PS C:\> Get-AppxPackage *microsoft.office.onenote* | Remove-AppxPackage

Once removed, open Store (Windows Store application) then install OneNote. Launching OneNote should now ask for new credentials. Have fun!
