Perhaps it was not installed completely or correctly? You can install OneNote from the App Store for free. You will also need a Microsoft account and you can only save and load OneNote files from the cloud (no local storage) like OneDrive or a SharePoint server.

There are a fair number of poor ratings on App Store for the Mac version of OneNote (about 4% of all reviews). Not a complete or good port of the Windows program on macOS it seems. But that's just my opinion.

I used to use OneNote on a Windows computer about 15 years ago and liked it, but without local storage of OneNote files, it isn't practical without a constant internet connection.
