Antivirus: Avast & Malwarebytes
Software: Office 365 | Office Professional Plus 2016 For 1 PC. Added to account on Friday, June 9, 2017.

PROBLEM
OneNote won't start on my Win7 PC (installed, desktop version).

Additional Info:
Won't start as Administrator.
Won't start when Antivirus is disabled.

As far as I can recall, I didn't do anything to disrupt this program.
The program runs fine on my mobile devices and in the browser(s) of my PC (Firefox and gChrome).

Attempted to Run OneNote from Start Menu
Error Message: Something went wrong | We couldn't start your program. Please try starting it again. | If it won't start, try repairing Office from 'Programs and Features' in the Control Panel. Link: You can go online to get more help.

What will happen to my data? Do I have to back it up, or is it in folders that are not affected by the Uninstall?
I have done this before and never lost anything. I keep my data backed up in any event

John's solution required a more complicated solution. My solution relied on the information provided in the error message and required a minor fix that was easy to implement. Had my solution not worked, I believe John's suggestion would have been the best answer.
