Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted October 18, 2020 Evernote Expert Share Posted October 18, 2020 This is an issue that appeared after receiving the v10.1 update. Now once the program is running I can click on the taskbar icon and it opens back to where I was last focused. However, if I, instead, double click a desktop icon or launch from the start menu (and the program is already running) it opens on a window inside the program headed SHARED WITH ME rather than the notebook I was previously inside. Apart from being immensely frustrating I suspect that it isn't common otherwise I'm sure there would be lots of comments reporting it or similar. I've tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling but still get this issue. Anyone any insight or suggestions. Steps to reproduce. 1. Start Evernote 10.1.x and access your desired notebook. 2. Minimise the program. 3. Double click the desktop icon or open from the start menu. 4. EN opens and jumps onto Shared With Me list. 5. Reselect the working notebook. 6. Minimise EN 7. Open the program by clicking on the taskbar icon and return to the working notebook. 5 2 Link to comment
Don Dz 165 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Strange behavior, while I don't use EN like that, I can reproduce the bug. Link to comment
Jon/t 1,656 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I get that when I open EN for the first time but only on my laptop. PC on my desk seems to default to a note in trash... I think there's a bug floating around. Link to comment
Volume 3 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 EN keeps opening Shared with Me for me too and I don't have anything in the Shared with Me section. Version 10.1.7 build 1902 public. 1 Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted October 19, 2020 Author Evernote Expert Share Posted October 19, 2020 Really grateful to those who can also reproduce this issue... I was beginning to think I was going crazy! Well I may be but at least not with this issue... @gbarry Link to comment
Solution gbarry 2,658 Posted October 19, 2020 Solution Share Posted October 19, 2020 Thanks for the flag @agsteele--that is unexpected, I've asked the team to look into it and we'll resolve. 1 1 Link to comment
DMiddleton 303 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I have this too on 10.1.7, if I open from the desktop icon it goes to shared notes with nothing in it. If I open it from the system tray icon it opens on the last used note. Link to comment
jgsiegel 0 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'm having the exact same issue and thought I was going nuts. I even had the one person who had shared a note with me unshare and delete the note on their end to see if that fixed it, but it didn't, it still goes there every time I reopen the app, whether quitting all the way or just closing the app but letting it continue to run in the system tray.

Don Dz 165 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I am glad they have acknowledged the problem, but why is this topic labeled "answered"? Unless I misunderstood something, that seems like a change in the way I observed the word being used in the past: that a solution has been posted , or that the problem is fixed with a new update. 1 Link to comment
xuv224 3 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I have the exact same issue. It started after EN updated the Windows desktop app in the last two weeks. Link to comment

amritaskye 10 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hi, I just upgraded to Evernote v.10.1.7 build 1902 public. The program now always opens to "Shared with Me"--which in my case, is empty. I want it to open to "All Notes." How do I set where the program opens? Thank you, Skye (I've been using Evernote for over ten years now) Link to comment

marq 0 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 same thing on my Windows 10 Laptop. Mac versions are fine- PC always opens in empty "shared with me" section. Link to comment
Rashid Kotwal 2 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Got exactly the same issue. If I open from the Task Bar - it comes up with shared notes - with nothing in them. Works fine from the system tray. Also takes about 3 seconds to open from the task bar (it's as if the program as to start from scratch) and instantly if from the system tray. v 10.1.7 build 1902 public Editor: v109.0.14125 Service: v1.20.26 © 2019 - 2020 Evernote Corporation.

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Evernote Expert Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just to say, I've had confirmation from two sources at EN that this issue is being worked on. It is a bug and will be fixed as soon as there is a solution.... 2 Link to comment

Hm, strange indeed. Depends pushing update releases on the region? Or just gradual roll-out not to overload the helpdesk? Anyhow, I can wait until my instance alerts me about the new release 🙂 Thanks for your support. Link to comment

JochumP 1 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Today I got the same problem. And found a trick in another thread. If you close the app, don't do that by clicking the X, but via the menu !!! For me that works for as long the bug is not fixed 1 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,785 Posted June 17, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Correct about not using the X, but the menu. The X closes the app, but leaves the framework running. Only the menu (or at a Mac cmd-q) really quits the program. The next steps is log out before quitting, and then to click the „keep data on logout“ away before logout. Link to comment
agignac 2 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 same thing for me just the past several days. I also saw another thread where they suggested closing the program from the menu. I tried it and it seemed to work - when I opened EN back up, it was on the last folder I had used. But then a day later, it's back to the "shared with me" file. I've done it a couple times, and each time it's reverted back. :( Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,785 Posted June 17, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Did somebody share new content with you ? My escalation is this: Quit EN from the menu (not by hitting the X on the screen) Log out of EN before quitting Remove the „Keep all data on logout“ at settings, then log out, then quit The same, but before restarting the app, first restart the computer Uninstall the app, using an uninstaller (Revo for Windows, AppCleaner for Mac), reinstall, log in … or ask support.

PaulBarber 4 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I'm having the same issue. Using File -> Quit Evernote doesn't cause the issue, but using X in upper right always displays the "Shared with Me" page. Link to comment
