MikeDuncan177 4 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Is it possible to configure Evernote (ver. 10 above) to start as the System Tray icon only and not open the main window. In earlier versions, it was possible to configure a preference to start Evernote with Windows startup. I could not find this option in the new version. I have created an Evernote shortcut in the Windows 10 Startup folder and can get the program to start with the main window and the System Tray icon, but would like to know if there is any command line parameter to just start the System Tray Icon. 2 Link to comment

No information, I'm afraid - you could try raising this with Support, but there will be a delay in responses given their present workload... Bear in mind this is a feature-poor launch package with much more flexibility to be added.... eventually.... so the ability may come back; but meantime (as ever) the options are 1) just collapse the window or 2) go back to the Legacy version that has the options you need. 1 Link to comment
MikeDuncan177 4 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thanks, @gazumped. Will feed a suggestion through Support for future consideration. 2 Link to comment
Mark. 19 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 For me Evernote doesn't load at all on startup (Windows 10), I need to run it manually each time. When it does load, it goes to the system tray. However I did have to make it visible again (right click on taskbar > taskbar settings > Select which icons appear on the taskbar > re-enable evernote) Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted November 25, 2020 Evernote Expert Share Posted November 25, 2020 @Mark. Create a shortcut to the Evernote program is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup = %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup THat will set Evernote to start when you reboot your PC. @MikeDuncan177 I'd hoped that setting the shortcut to open minimized would do the trick but apparently not 1 Link to comment
Mark. 19 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 @agsteele thanks for the work-around, that should help. For the Evernote team - this should really be something that's built into the software, rather than requiring manual user intervention to set up. 2 Link to comment
