fredhammersmith 59 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi. Anybody had this problem? Evernote keeps reinstalling itself, each time I restart my desktop. I am using 6.20.2.8626 (308626) Public. I did not upgrade to 6.22 yet after seeing posts talking about numerous issues. i do not have much time to troubleshoot things these days. Thanks, have a good day. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,057 Posted January 29, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi. Obviously that's not a frequent or expected behaviour - how do you shut down Evernote and your laptop? Do you exit Evernote first? How do you attempt to start Evernote when you restart your laptop? Is it possible that you have a link to the 'install' executable file as a shortcut somewhere?

fredhammersmith 59 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 After checking the startup folder and the different shortcuts I use to start the app, I see no clear reason (I did not find any "install shortcut") that may explain this. It seems every time I restart the computer (once every 2 or 3 days), Evernote reinstall. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,785 Posted February 14, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted February 14, 2020 a) No, not having the problem b) Maybe an interaction with a security software that tries to stop EN from working, thus causing it to renew the installation ? Link to comment
fredhammersmith 59 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Still doing it. Should I upgrade now? The latest upgrades were heavily criticized last time I checked, but maybe most problems are solved by now. Link to comment

Don't see that an upgrade will fix your issue - it's not a recognized 'bug' therefore will not have been fixed - unless by accident. I'd suggest a support request to at least get it on Evernote's radar... Link to comment
dcon 166 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I'm currently having that issue with Access 2007 on one machine. The wonders of MSI... Link to comment
sai7 0 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'm having the same issue on all my computers - I have several of them all Macs, and ever since the latest upgrade, everytime I restart my computer and start evernote it goes on to reinstall itself before starting. The installer file also remains on my desktop and if I attempt to delete it, evernote will close and reinstall. Link to comment

We're in a Windows thread here, but the same advice probably applies - uninstall/ delete whatever you can (using AppCleaner if things get difficult) and restart your system. Redownload from Evernote.com and start over. If that fails - https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote or https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/119867-evernote-for-mac-710/ and https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new to report this - long delays currently, but it will get fixed Link to comment
dcsj 0 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I am having this issue every time I start Evernote. Running Windows 10. I see there is a new update to Evernote, this morning when I started it, it said I was on Version 10.3.xxx then downloaded the latest. I also had a Windows update today, so had to restart my machine. Then I restarted Evernote and same drill, on Version 10.3.xxx, updating to latest version (Now 10.8.5) This is really ridiculous. Link to comment
