Evernote for Windows won't ever start on the first attempt

[Cara.M 0]

For - I don't know - a couple of months, now?  On Windows 10 Version1903 Build 18362.239, using Evernote for Windows (6.19.2.8555 (308555) Public (CE Build ce-62.3.7750)), the application never starts successfully on first attempt.  It dings and won't open.  I run the exe again, and it opens.  Here's my scrubbed activity log - can anyone interpret it for me and tell me what's going on?

• Try contacting support
• It looks like you installed Evernote via the Windows Store. Might help to uninstall/reinstall
• Or, uninstall and then install the downloadable directly from Evernote https://evernote.com/download

As always, sync before you uninstall. To be extra safe, back up your database. 

Hope this helps.
