Running Evernote 10.55.2-win-ddl-public (4019)

Every time I start Evernote I get the following error.  Clicking on it a second time, it starts up normally.

Hi.  Seems like it might be a corrupted installation - have you tried uninstalling,  powering your device off and on again,  and re-download / reinstalling?

Getting the same with:

10.57.5-win-ddl-public (4090)
Editor: v169.1.20965
Service: v1.68.4
 

Have had it a few weeks and have had at least one upgrade.

Will try a reinstall as suggested but just wanted to report it in case any Staff are reading this and have suggestions e.g.

Hi.  This is a public forum and the staff very rarely get involved with individual issues.  subscribers can raise support queries here - https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new and all users here - https://twitter.com/evernotehelps (or via the in-app feedback option where it is available). 

Good luck with the reinstall!

I tried reinstalling but that didn't help.  I looked at the code and the Get-AuthenticodeSignature call is attempting to use PowerShell.  I work at a utility company and then don't allow a non admin id to run powershell commands as part of their security procedures.

I'll open a support case at the address above.  This seems like a poor decision on EverNotes part to assume all users will have access to PowerShell or in my case force me to run EverNote with elevated privileges.

If your IT admin blocks access to parts of the OS (like power shell), it’s hardly the fault of a software developer.

In such a case use the web client. This is in general advisable for anybody who experiences problems on employer managed computers.

This issue was supposed to be fixed in a recent electron-builder fix here https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/7127

Auto-update runs a digital signature verification on the new update and this code is failing.  You might have to manually update until this problem is resolved.

Device / OS / Evernote version?

[gazumped 12,074]

We're now several versions past the public releases in July,  so the questions still remain: device? OS? Evernote version?  And have you tried a full reinstall?
