Last upgrade has slowed down things a lot

The latest upgrade seems to have significantly slowed down operations on the two platforms I use (Windows 10, Android). Version 10.95.6 on Windows, 1.95.1 on Android. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

No. But the latest Android release is 10.96.3 so things may improve once you get that version.

The new RENT meta data sync may be causing a temporary showdown for your account.

Strangely, I cannot upgrade my Windows version using the help menu.

Can I force an upgrade another way?

I spent way too much time staring at my screen this morning.

Either they introduced another bug, or you have a local database damage.

If you are valiant enough and can wait, see if the next release fixes it. Else do the Uninstall / Reinstall dance, with a risk that nothing changes if it’s a bug.

So, new upgrade, 10.973.

Seems OK. A bit on the slow side, but better.

Boomerang effect: still there (moved note come back to old notebook). Not every time, not every note.

I guess a complete re-install will be necessary.

Good to know.

I reinstalled completely. It seems to work now.

Oh my god. I had all kinds of trouble reinstalling Evernote so I migrated the local database to my SSD. Temporary measure I told myself (I want to keep my SSD for Windows and software)

It is like a new software. So quick.  Cannot go back.

For a better understanding: You have placed the local database on a SSD now - is it an external SSD ? An internal one, but not the system drive ?

Where has it been before - spinning disk drive ?

Maybe you can elaborate a little, to allow others to copy your steps if needed.

Yes.

I moved the temporary data folder to my boot drive, an internal SSD that I wanted to reserve for Windows and software. It was previously on a standard hard drive (Seagate Barracuda 2 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s). For now, it's like night and day. I was so used to Evernote's slowness that I accepted it without much complaint. But now, it's like a brand-new software. I have 48,000 notes, so possibly the impact grows with volume. But it's very recent (this morning), so we'll see.

I'm running my 68,000 note account off a 2TB NVME drive and it's pretty much instant with every operation.  SSDs for the win...

I'm impressed that you tolerated an HDD that long.  I switched to an SSD years ago - it was Evernote driven but it greatly improved overall system performance.  I still use an HDD for photography.  Prices for large capacity SSDs are starting to get to the point where I may switch over there too.

Even SD cards work nice and quickly. My Laptop is a 2 in 1 with a small SSD so I have a 256GB SD plugged in permanently and it flies using Win 10 and 8GB RAM.
