Evernote super slow in typing text and in scrolling through notebook stacks and notebooks


Recommended Posts

Hi,

in comparison to former Evernote Legacy the current Evernote version for Windows Desktop is very slow, too slow to work properly with it.
I know that the new Evernote has a new structure and need time to re-organize etc. It had now time for around 4 months, 8 hours a day at my WIN 10 prof. x64 computer.

‼️ I have NO problems opening a note and scrolling through it, this is relatively normal in speed. But other things are super slow; also the SYNC is quite normal.

‼️ But Evernote is super slow in these cases:

  • I'm faster with typing plain text into a (new or existing) note than Evernote type it on the screen.
    This is bad, because I type faster than Evernote, spelling mistakes can creep in and I only notice them later because Evernote is always lagging behind. And that costs time because I can't correct the mistakes as soon as I type the next letter because Evernote isn't that advanced yet.
  • Scrolling through the left column, for example through notebook-stacks or notebooks is very slow and not smooth

 

Further informations:

 

  • Evernote:
    Notes: 24.514
    Notebooks: 503
    Notebook stacks: 77
    latest version:
    10.95.4-win-ddl-public (20240702172400)Editor: V 178.16.0Service: V 1.116.5
     
  • I have a WIN 10 prof. x64 computer with 16 GB RAM and a 4 core i-7 processor, a Radeon graphic card, 3 SSDs, on one SSD is only the OS and the programs like Evernote, with 60% free disk space.
     
  • With the help of the DEVtools in Evernote, I saw that a lot of things are loaded from the cloud. We live here in the countryside in Germany, but NOT in the city, we have no “fiber optic” as internet connection for example, just DSL. With “normal” websites (I'm a webdesigner) I have here no problems with internet connection.
    Internet connection currently:  ↓ 63,7 Mbit/s ↑ 23,4 Mbit/s  
     
  • I don't know if this has something to do with its slowness, but the DEV tools in Evernote (→ F12 in Evernote → tab “sources” ) show a lot of 404 errors.
     
  • I also use Adobe's Creative Suite on my Windows PC, as well as the video editing software DaVinci Resolve. I have NOT noticed any performance problems here - and these are really heavyweights! Only Evernote is incredibly slow when writing text, scrolling through the notebook stacks and notebooks, for example - it's all very jerky and not smooth. But keep in mind:
  • Evernote is very slow and jerky although no other program is open!

 

As you all know, for my ticket I only got the standard text, but no solution.
Has anyone an idea how to speed up Evernote?

 

Thank you.

v10.95.4 was withdrawn. I would revert to the currently available version from evernote.com

Probably best to uninstall with Revo Uninstaller to ensure v10.95.4 is fully removed.

I think it is not the current version v10.95.4, because I have this problem since I use the new Evernote version instead of the Legacy version (now about ca. 4 months).

The issue I mentioned above exist since then - and in the meantime Evernote had got a lot new updates, so it is not a matter of the current one.

I think I would still suggest the uninstall with Revo Uninstaller.

I agree. Looks like a bad install right from the start, and it doesn't get better, because the corrupted database is drawn from update to update to update.

Nuke it with Revo, restart the PC, reinstall the latest version.

Then let it run for quite a while, can be in the background. It needs quite a while to download, especially on an internet connection that is a little slow. It took several DAYS for me, and my download is a Gigabit/s.
