VincentVegas 1 Posted October 20, 2017 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

Sounds like your current icon is pointing to the installer package rather than the actual application. 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.
VincentVegas 1 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 This helped, thanks. That icon was from the original install. Strange thing is that there is no valid path in the target field, but the string "Evernote v. 6.7.5"... on both Windows systems.

Evernote Expert gazumped 12,637 Posted October 23, 2017 Evernote Expert Posted October 23, 2017 Nope - that works fine. I actually never use it normally (I just tested it) - I have a start menu link for daily use.

Hi.
