I got this and fixed it just now. I stumbled on this https://github.com/alxnbl/onenote-md-exporter/issues/42 and wondered if this page history etc thing was causing my problems. So I removed all the page versions for each Notebook, then emptied and disabled the Recycle bins for them. I removed ALL the generated files from the earlier attempts, including the .docx, re-ran it and it worked. All 451 notes converted.

@dwids i believe i discussed with @BoltCitizen and we ended up with a solution here: https://github.com/theohbrothers/ConvertOneNote2MarkDown/issues/101#issuecomment-907755120

@BoltCitizen can we conclude that the issue you are experiencing does have something to do with having the right combined Office Apps (Word, OneNote) installed and is not really related to the script itself. Than we can proceed and close this issue as well, right?

@SjoerdV , yes, we can close it
