Rolldothome 5 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Most recent version of Evernote from the Mac App store will not close and will not stay hidden. Whenever I quit it it immediately reopens. When I move to another app Evernote keeps coming back to the front. This is rendering my Mac unusable. WTF? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,070 Posted February 25, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi. Can you uninstall it? Link to comment
Rolldothome 5 Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 I've deleted and re-installed a couple of times. Same behaviour. App launches on its own and keeps forcing itself to the front of screen making my Mac unusable. I have had to delete completely. early annoyed with this as paying a subscription, I've bee a user for 10 years... Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,070 Posted March 14, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hmmn. Tried the Legacy version? You need to reach out to Support too - they should be a little quicker with their responses by now... Link to comment
Rolldothome 5 Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hi - how do I find the legacy version? Was trying to contact support but can't find an email link - going in circles... Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,818 Posted March 14, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted March 14, 2021 First things first: I would get rid of the AppStore version of the EN client. It is the same software, but it will execute in a sandbox. This can create side effects. To make a clean uninstall, use the AppCleaner app, and check all components to be uninstalled. Then go to Evernote.com, all the way down, click on download from the list at the bottom of the landing page. Install the .dmg file that will (normally automatically) download. Log in, wait for the initial sync to take place. Try again if the weird behavior continues. You can install legacy side by side to v10 if you wish. Link to comment
Rolldothome 5 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi all - thanks for your help. Got rid of App store version and installed from the Evernote site. So far so good... 🙂 2 Link to comment
Rolldothome 5 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hi All. Not used my laptop for a few days and when I started up today Evernote is back to its old tricks - constantly relaunching and coming to front of screen. Its beyond infuriating. Anyone else having this issue? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,818 Posted March 21, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Have you checked your launch objects in the Macs settings, users & groups yet ? If EN is there, it will start itself. Remove it by selecting it, and click the "-" symbol at the bottom of the list. If you want to launch it, but hidden, select the checkmark behind the EN entry in the list. Link to comment
Rolldothome 5 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hi. Yes that was absolutely the very first thing I checked when this issue started. It isn’t set to open at log in. Even if it was once you quit it it should stay closed. It has been just persistent. I have cleared everything again using Appcleaner and I have checked through my library and can’t see any evidence of Evernote. Next time I start up I’m going to re install again from scratch and will let you know how it goes. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,818 Posted March 21, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted March 21, 2021 If it resists being purged through AppCleaner it earns to be regarded as persistent malware 😑 Link to comment
