dbvirago 498 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Not really a new subject, but I revisit occasionally to see if anyone has a solution. I've tried every combination of settings in sync options, but no matter what, if I go to Evernote (Windows app), the sync icon starts spinning, and I'm pretty much hosed until it stops.Get (Not Responding) and I wait. Also get it Doesn't matter if I last synced 10 minutes or 10 hours ago. Currently, I have everything unchecked except On Demand sync. I've also tried everything unchecked except Sync on Exit, and every other option. Like many of us, I have a ton of stuff stored there and I'm usually in a hurry to find something. Link to comment

dbvirago 498 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Thanks. Maybe I'll try that. I do want it to sync a few times a day. Don't understand the various sync options if it's going to ignore them Link to comment

Don't understand the various sync options if it's going to ignore them Yeah, I typically don't have slow downs, but when I do it tends to be a result of doing some extensive editing on a note. I used this hack and created a second 5 minute version. Works like a charm, fully turns off any sync activity until the timer runs out or you type a letter in the window. I use it once or twice a week. Hats off to the creator of the hack. Personal opinion, EN is executing more syncs to try and avoid conflicting note issues through a more current server version of the data base. I've noticed that when I email a note to EN a sync on the client will start withing 30 seconds no matter when the last sync occurred. Link to comment
dbvirago 498 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yeah, I just don't understand why I can't set it to sync when it's convenient to me. All sync options are now turned off and it started syncing as soon as the window is active. I leave it running 24/7, so having it sync in the background, at night, or any other option would be preferable. It's like the program is say, "I've been sitting here doing nothing for 4 hours, but he wants to do something, so I guess I'll sync now." Link to comment
Level 5* FactMan 196 Posted October 31, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted October 31, 2017 Not sure what is going on, and I haven't tested it fully. However, I went to my Evernote program folder and right-clicked on each of the executables in turn. I didn't write down which ones, but some of them showed that they were in compatibility mode for Windows 8, while others were running normally. I know Windows 8 had some problems, so I turned those off. It may be my imagination, but it seems like the app is behaving much better... Would appreciate a few others checking it out, and Evernote explaining why the program installs in compatibility mode. Link to comment
