GeorgeV 0 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 After the Evernote update 10.72.2.0 was installed, the desktop app will not open. I removed and reinstalled the app and it still will not open. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,055 Posted January 17 Evernote Expert Share Posted January 17 How did you uninstall? Try the recommended Revo Uninstaller to handle the uninstall which should remove all corrupted parts of the install. Link to comment
GeorgeV 0 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 No, I used the Widows 11 uninstall. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,055 Posted January 17 Evernote Expert Share Posted January 17 Then definitely download Revo Unistaller for a better result Link to comment
Reuas71 2 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Dear All, I have excactly the same issue. 10.72.1. was working perfectly, I updated to 10.72.2 and it is not starting anymore. (Win 10) I can see it in the Task Manager. Tried uninstall, reboot install, ... no change. There is no error message, it just does nothing. Any idea? I cannot use Revo, as it is a regulated Company PC, but I deleted all files connected to Evernote before re-installing. And also "auto-update" worked for all versions before. thanks Link to comment
Onsberg 1 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I have the same problem with 10.72.2.0 & WIN 11 - ANS I tried REVO - but still dont work !! 1 Link to comment
Alex21239 6 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This same thing has happened to me, I tried uninstalling using Revo uninstaller, still doesn't work 1 Link to comment
njk2 1 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I am also seeing this issue. I can see 4 Evernote processes running in task manager but the application will not open. It does launch when run as admin. Uninstalling and re-installing doesn't resolve the issue 1 Link to comment
Ariel17 0 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Same for me, in 2 different pcs. An error window appears and proposes to restart. In one of the pcs works, although at hours the same error, and in the other is a constant loop. Link to comment
GeorgeV 0 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 I agree the Revo uninstaller is not working for me either. Link to comment

pattonk 1 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I have the same problem the app won't load. I downloaded my version (10.72.2.0) from the windows store. I also am running Windows 11 in S mode. I also uninstalled and restarted multiple times. 1 Link to comment
Reuas71 2 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Its a bit annoying, as every morning Evernote is installing the latest version again, which failes to launch. I am uninstalling it and install 10.71.2, which is running perfectly. Any hint, where I can stop the Auto-Update process? Haven't found that switch somewhere. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,055 Posted January 24 Evernote Expert Share Posted January 24 This happens from time to time. It is well reported. Uninstall using Revo Uninstaller for Windows or AppCleaner for MacOS. Then download and install the latest software from evernote.com/download Link to comment

Especially, as the installation of an older version works perfectly every day again. Link to comment
njk2 1 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Can you explain why a third-party uninstaller is preferred over Evernotes own tools? Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,055 Posted January 24 Evernote Expert Share Posted January 24 @Reuas71 I don't see any mention of Revo in your post but there is a harder option. Manually delete %AppData%/Evernote and %LocalAppData%/Programs/Evernote Link to comment

Evernote doesn't provide any tools for uninstalling. You have to use the operating system uninstaller. These don't clear out all the problem data. In Windows it often leaves registry entries, corrupted configuration files etc and these get picked up by the reinstallation or upgrade. The suggested uninstallers are much more thorough. For Windows it is possible to achieve the same manually and this is where Evernote will point you. Your choice. Link to comment

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,055 Posted January 24 Evernote Expert Share Posted January 24 Then you are left with contacting Evernote support. Sorry. Link to comment
njk2 1 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Yes they do... I have also attempting removing the cache files, uninstalling and re-installing but the issue persists Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,055 Posted January 24 Evernote Expert Share Posted January 24 That just launches the OS uninstaller and it's the Legacy application. We're discussing v10 Link to comment

Mmere 0 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I am having the exact same issue. I cannot open Evernote since I downloaded their latest update and tried to relaunch the app. I have restarted my computer many times, and have ensured my computer is up to date. I used the Windows 10 uninstaller to uninstall Evernote then redownloaded from the Evernote website. I have lodged a ticket. @Evernote I am hoping this gets resolved ASAP as it is hugely inconvenient and a waste of my subscription money. Link to comment
treaders 7 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I am unable to open Evernote 10.72.2 on Windows 10 Enterprise version 22H2. Evernote stopped opening a few days ok. I think when Evernote updated to 10.72.2 on 23 January 2024. I have tried: closing all applications restarting my laptop Any further suggestions on how to fix? Thank you, Ben Link to comment
76Olds442 0 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I've been having the same issues as everyone else on my work computer. I gave up and switched to the web platform. It works very well and I don't have to hassle with updates. Just my two cents ... David <>< Link to comment
Administrator Solution Federico Simionato 1,034 Posted January 25 Administrator Solution Share Posted January 25 I apologize for the inconvenience, there is a bug that doesn't allow Evernote to launch on Windows if access to the registry editing is prevented. This for instance can often happen on company hardware with specific restrictions. We've just started rolling out v10.73.4 that fixes this. You can download it directly from the website https://evernote.com/download. 2 4 Link to comment
GeorgeV 0 Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 That works for me as well now. Link to comment

I followed advice from this forum dated in 2021 (Pink Elephant suggestion) to logout and choose the option to 'remove my data.." or something similar. Then restart the computer. Evernote now does not launch. Any help greately appreciated. Link to comment

Are you still using v. 10.72.2, the subject of this thread? It was noted above what the issue was and that 10.73.4 fixed it. The current version is 10.84.3, which can be downloaded from the Evernote Website. First (as also recommended above) uninstall with Revo Uninstaller. Link to comment
