The key I've been setting is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd\Shell\Open\Command and the (Default) property should be pointed towards your OneNote desktop app exe. After setting that, you still need to open the OneNote modern app once, then remove the app, then open OneNote desktop and set it as the default through those prompts. Setting OneNote as the default for everything through Control Panel doesn't actually set it as the default for everything. This has to be done through the desktop app itself.
There is probably something in the user registry that bypasses all of this, but I haven't had time to use Process Monitor and search for the key. I think I'll just wait for the fix from Microsoft.
