Version 10.114.2 on Windows 11

[gazumped 12,630]

Just trying to install the latest latest version - this new one comes up with a blank window and endless loading when installed.  Restarted - same issue.  I can see Calendar but nothing else.  Will Revo uninstall and re-download.

[gazumped 12,630]

Revo took a very long time and did not complete a clean-up.  Submitted a ticket and attempted a re-install - still getting a white window.  Also now unable to get the web version on my desktop,  though my tablet and mobile still appear to be working....

same with me it's so ridiculous

[Mike P 3,425]

Interesting. Works fine for me and seems to have solved the problems with notes not loading and giving the dreaded grey blocks.

[gazumped 12,630]

Revo having crashed I reinstalled and then re-uninstalled and manually removed the Evernote folder in %Appdata% - restarted / reinstalled...  and still the same.  Leaving the spinning arrow for a while to see what happens (if anything...)

Yep - 114.2 is completely unusable...
I simply stopped EN10-114.2 and started my saved Evernote-10.113.5 installation image with no problem.
EN works now as smooth and fast as yesterday. How the hell could 114.2 pass any QA? 😤

But BTW: EN10.113.5 already recognizes $$<TeX>$$ boxes 😉 

[gazumped 12,630]

After a complete clean manual reinstall a couple of hours ago I now have the app back again,  plus the release notes window duly populated;  but I don't know why it was such an effort.  This is a 2-year old 32GB desktop with a fast processor and SSDs!  I see on social media that there are other experiences of this too...  Hope there's an explanation somewhere down the line...

10.114.2 disabled GPU hardware acceleration by default on Windows to address CPU usage issues but makes things choppy. This was in the release notes but then suddenly removed for some reason. HW acceleration can be turned back on now in the settings. This will fix the responsiveness.

Just noticed all my calendar entries are missing - tried hardware acceleration - now I can't see notes again either.  Arghh!!

Whow - really unbelievable acceleration 🙂
Hope this was the only problem for me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for others...

[iBertje 7]

It's just the same each and every time they say it'll get beter, it'll get faster ... 10x, 1000x, ... it just never happens 

1 step forward, 10 steps back ...

They don't seem to get that we use this piece of "software" each and every day.

 

[gazumped 12,630]

I don't seem to be getting anywhere - can't find a support request I thought I sent earlier,  and can't evern send a new one for some reason (see pic).  Gave up and Xittered a certain product lead in the hope he can help...

My report was - 

Quote

As of about 1000 local time (it's 1600 now) I tried to update 10.113.5 to 10.114.2.  I started the update process but when the app relaunched I got an ‘empty’ app window and an equally blank release notes window.  I left the app for 10-15 minutes but there was no change.  I restarted the desktop - no change.  Tried to uninstall with Revo Uninstaller - Revo hung while trying to find remaining files.  (Uninstall and registry clean was completed).

Shortcuts and Calendar still seemed to work but no other menu item would load.

I still had access via the web client.

Reinstalled the app - no change.  Fully uninstalled manually removing all files.  Reinstalled - no apparent change,  but I went out for 2 hours and found that my notes had populated.  There was a note in the forums that hardware acceleration is back so activated that.  Lost access to my notes again.

Evernote Calendar is not showing some events I saved for later this month.

The web client no longer loads.  What is going on?

I reported all this a couple of hours ago,  but received no acknowledgement and there's no apparent record of my report.  I've lost most of a day on this so far,  and I see from the forums and social media that others are in the same boat.  See https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/153991-version-101142-on-windows-11/ for more.

 

[agsteele 3,134]

Curiously, it installed without issue for me. Yes, Hardware Acceleration was off but that didn't make any difference. All working just as I would hope.

I have the same problem in MacOS 10.15

And I do not have the option to accelerate de hardware

[Phil A 5]

Did the indicated in app upgrade from 10.113.4 (which was running fine) and The EN window opens no notes no anything. I am already logged when En opens but I can't log out. Have removed several times and re-installed still nothing and I can't find where I can get a copy of 10.113.4 to go back to so that I can actually do work instead of just trying to get EN to work.

10.113.4 continues to work fine on my other computers (which I am not upgrading until I find out what the heck is going on. And I tried EN web and having the same problem. What the heck?

Any Ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You might find that another computer has the older version 113.4 installation file saved somewhere - you could try that on the affected device.  I found a copy on my desktop so I'll re-install that tomorrow if there's no other fix in sight.

For me,  nothing at all in 114.2 - I can't see any notes either way.

Whether Chromium uses the GPU or not for rendering, on some hardware you might see some bad lag. Depends on the device.

[AlbertR 950]

Sorry - have to take back my first impression that HW acceleration solves the problem 😡

Today both (Win-APP and Web-APP) 114.2 show ugly latencies. Even with notes that have been visible some seconds before. Next try often shows white pages with gray stripes 😤.

Now I reverted to 113.5 on my desktop and ignore "Evernote ist bereit für ein Update!" for the next time 😉 

[gazumped 12,630]

Well - thanks to some super-quick intervention by Support my account now seems back to normal;  thanks to Amelia and anyone else involved!  It required another clean reinstall - a record fourth in this particular case;  and I had to reset some preferences like side list headings.  I also re-engaged hardware acceleration...  we'll see whether that has any effect during the day.  If I get any more information about what happened I'll post here. 

Hopefully when everyone gets their confidence back you'll find updates go through normally,  but if things go badly - check out my slightly amended (in light of recent events) 'clean reinstall' post.

Just remember to not shut down the client, and let the computer run - else the autoupdate will kick in.

About QA: I thought on the last (smooth) updates they finally got something like a QA in place. Well, this beautiful theory has been invalidated by reality … probably was wishful thinking in first place.

Win-App 113.5 works fine.

[gazumped 12,630]

'Nother update in this never ending stoooory...  the installed app is still catching up.  I (ambitiously) tried to open my web client too in Thorium (Chrome) - the account framework opened up but otherwise I got a blank screen.  Tried Vivaldi (also Chrome) same.  Tried a Thorium private window - which worked!

Had to reset some prefs again,  but had all my notes.  Logged out in good order and re-tried a standard window...  nope, still blank.  My installed account is still re-loading though.  I'll leave the Thorium window open.

The excitement continues...

THX - but I've a 113.5 installation image available. If I start this after an exit, 113.5 is available after app. 25 seconds on my maschine 😉 

[gazumped 12,630]

Comment from Support - if you're having issues with 114.2,  fill in a Support form.  They'll get to it as soon as possible.  There seems to be a general fix in the works,  but individual issues will get individual attention for the time being...

[iBertje 7]

Now they really make a fool of themselves.

A fix via an individual support request. Maybe it'll be working again in 2 years at the curent rate of support.

[Vitaliy Grinchuk 123]

Same problem with the version for Windows 114.2. The web version in Edge also doesn't work, in Chrome it launches every once in a while but is very slow. Enabling hardware acceleration does nothing.

Try a private window for access - if you don't have a 113.5 installation file to fall back on,  contact Support for attention...

I wrote to customer service two days ago. It helped that I have a second laptop with an earlier version of the app.

[Vitaliy Grinchuk 123]

I have a theory that every second version of the app works extremely *****. The last version worked fine, the current one doesn't work, the next one will fix everything, the version after that will break something again. 

[gazumped 12,630]

OK - clearing the cache in my browser worked!  (Suggested by Support - should have tried that myself )

Looks like a quick server-side intervention plus a clean reinstall / clean cache should get you back to normal service - but contact Support if you have an issue!

Always amuses me that EN want you to nuke the whole browser cache rather than just delete their data. I've had success in the past just deleting the EN data so it might be worth trying that first before resorting to clearing your entire cache, which may well have consequences for other websites. In Chrome, when on EN Web,  click on the icon to the left of the url. Click on Cookies and Site data  and then delete everything there. You wil be asked to reload and you will need to sign in again.

Are you not on 10.114.2? Prior builds have hw acceleration enabled with no option to disable so not relevant.

Or maybe you only have the integrated GPU, so no hardware available for acceleration.

@mackid1993, my Evernote is really damned unbelievably slow. Some things don't load at all. E.g. About Evernote, so I can't tell you what version I'm on. When I click on Release Notes, I get Release Notes for Evernote 10.113.5

. . . so maybe (if I were on 114) it could be worse! 🤣

I have no idea. Contact support. How many notes do you have? They are saying the issue affects large accounts.

Here is a Link to solve the prob: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/33813205622547-Clear-local-data-for-effective-troubleshooting

It is from EN-Support Team - they need to trigger the build of my local database ... therefore it's best do place your support-ticket 👍🏻

After doing the steps as described in the link - all works fine 🙂

[jamesJude 0]

For me it is working fine. If it is not working for you, contact support.

Yes, I confirm that the solution to the problem is detailed in https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/33813205622547-Clear-local-data-for-effective-troubleshooting

I hope it doesn't appear again 

[jgcordes 5]

Re the recent suggestions of using the full reinstallation method to fix this problem: I find it unclear what is meant by "remove any files associated with Evernote". Does that include removing the actual database?  I think mine is upwards of 10 GB (abt 45,000 notes in my primary notebook). I shudder to think what the resyncing process would look like.

Thanks, that's comforting to hear! Could you please comment a bit on what you did re the "full reinstallation" Evernote is recommending? I have had a Support response saying my account was reindexed, whatever that means, but they are still saying I should follow their full reinstallation instructions. Would moving aside all the files under %AppData%\Evernote be appropriate?

[Brett Thompson 1]

Had the same trouble 

Had to do a full reinstall .

Uninstall Evernote

Then a uninstaller for Evernote (a bit useless)

Go into Roaming %AppData% delete all Evernote stuff ,

Reinstall Evernote .

Worked for me (PC Windows 11)

Took ages I have been with Evernote since 2012 and had to delete 400,000 files in %AppData% .

But worked .

 

[jgcordes 5]

I went through the full reinstall process, but when the desktop app opens up it quits immediately no matter what I click, whether on Sign In, Create Account, Use Google. Just exits. Have tried repeatedly. Anyone encountered this behaviour? At least I can now get at my notes on the web following their reindexing of my account.
