Open Obsidian 1.3.5 (installer 1.3.5). Personal vault: No theme. No community plug-ins. No CSS. I’m relatively new: everything is baseline. Also happens on a Nick Milo vault but NOT on the sandbox vault.
Click on icon in menu bar for “new note.”
Message appears in the pane below saying “The plugin that created this view (starred) has gone away” and offers keyboard commands.
YES. The sandbox vault does not have the I-assume-old “new file” icon that is still showing up in the two vaults mentioned, including my own totally plain-vanilla vault.
I have restarted Obsidian. I have even restarted the whole computer.
Expected result
EITHER the icon is no longer there (as in the sandbox vault) OR it creates a new note.
Actual result
Error message as below.

There is no “new note” icon directly in the menu bar - if you click the file explorer icon (the blue one in the following picture), you will find the “new note” icon beneath (the one with the pen):
The icon you are clicking is the one for “starred files”. This native plugin doesn’t exist anymore as it has been replaced by the bookmarks plugin. Right-click the icon and close it - you don’t need it anymore.
Thanks. These are things a newbie doesn’t know: like why the icon persists when it is no longer active and requires user intervention to remove. (I actually had to try to look up the differences between menu, sidebar, ribbon, and so on. . . .)
