Rohaq 1 Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I appreciate the aggressive release schedule, but almost every day I'm having to click through install popups and UAC confirmations in order to update Evernote, and it's getting to be painfully intrusive. Would it be possible to allow Evernote to update silently, or automatically download updates, and apply them silently the next time Evernote is started, like with Firefox and Chrome?
Level 5 jbenson2 2,149 Posted October 3, 2015 Level 5 Posted October 3, 2015 I use Evernote Windows and ChromeMy 4 most recent upgrades were spread out over 206 daysSeptember 10 - version 5.9.1.8742 (276742) PublicJuly 10 - version 5.8.13.8152 (276152) PublicApril 4 - version 5.8.5.7193 (275193) GAFebruary 16 - version 5.8.3.6507 (274507) PublicThat works out to an average of one upgrade every two months.
Level 5* gazumped 12,223 Posted October 3, 2015 Level 5* Posted October 3, 2015 Yeah - I'm not exactly updating my installation every day - and the 'silent' option would have to be exactly that - an option - for those people who have decided they don't want to have anything to do with the new versions either 1) because a favourite feature has changed in the latest version, or 2) they want the bugs worked out before they risk the installation. Something for Evernote to look at anyway...
Rohaq 1 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Odd, I've been getting update requests every few days. Maybe there's an issue with my installation - though it does seem to be up to date.

There are many more beta updates than the general release updates. >Tool >Options >GeneralEnable beta features and updates
Rohaq 1 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Do you have beta updates turned on? There are many more beta updates than the general release updates. >Tool >Options >GeneralEnable beta features and updates I did think about that, but nope, that's never been ticked!
Rohaq 1 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Posted October 16, 2015 Three updates in the past week, and nope, I'm not on the beta channel!
Level 5* gazumped 12,223 Posted October 16, 2015 Level 5* Posted October 16, 2015 Well the latest actual update (excluding betas) was issued over a month ago, and they're coming out at the rate of roughly one a month - except for June which had about three, probably bug fixes or patches for something. Here's a (more or less complete) list of issue dates (yyyymmdd) with links to the release post. I'd suggest you check your current version number (Evernote > Help > About) and then again after the next time you update. If the number doesn't change, your system is throwing up false alerts for new versions. It would be worth uninstalling and downloading the current version from Evernote.com for a clean reinstall. 20150904 - EN Windows 5.9.1 8742 - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/87863-new-evernote-for-windows-591/?p=37646120150827 - EN Windows 5.9.1 - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/87863-new-evernote-for-windows-590/20150702 - EN Windows 5.8.13 - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/86114-new-evernote-for-windows-5813-ga-update/ 20150630 - EN Windows 5.8.12 GA - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/86114-new-evernote-for-windows-5812-ga/20150628 - EN Windows 5.8.11 - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/86043-new-evernote-for-windows-5811-public/20150603 - EN Windows 5.8.8.GA - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/85356-new-evernote-for-windows-588-ga20150501 - EN Windows 5.8.6 GA - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/83777-new-evernote-for-windows-586-ga20150402 - EN Windows 5.8.5 GA - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/82985-new-evernote-for-windows-585-ga/#entry35348020150306 - EN Windows 5.8.4 GA - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/82004-new-evernote-for-windows-584-ga/#entry34866220150201 - EN Windows 5.8.3 GA - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/80949-evernote-for-windows-583-ga/
Rohaq 1 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Making a note here for next update: Currently on 5.8.13.8152 (276152) Public Edit: Which appears to be a few versions behind, according to your list. Maybe the update installer wasn't installing properly, which might explain why it was constantly trying to update. I'll try uninstalling completely, clearing out any leftover files, and reinstalling. Double edit: Uninstalled and reinstalled only for me as a user: Hopefully it'll mean any future updates don't need the UAC popup for admin privileges, at least. Now on 5.9.1.8742 (276742) Public
