VincentVegas 1 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hi. For many weeks now whenever I start Evernote on my desktop or laptop it tells me that it configures itself, which takes some seconds and then the desktop icon is moved to a default location. Why is this happening? Regards Thomas Link to comment

Find the Evernote executable in Windows Explorer (C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\Evernote) and right click it. Choose Send To, and Desktop (create shortcut). Then delete your previous icon.

Hi.
For many weeks now whenever I start Evernote on my desktop or laptop it tells me that it configures itself, which takes some seconds and then the desktop icon is moved to a default location. Why is this happening?
