Mac Evernote with Parallels and Windows 10 beach ball

[gineaux 0]

I use a Mac Pro running Parallels so I can used Windows programs (QuickBooks and MathCad). Since upgrading to Windows 1o I have problems with the spinning beach ball. The way I use MathCad to print to a pdf file which goes into Evernote. I then put a job number into the tag and send the file to my business notebook. Since the Windows 10 update I find that when inserting a tag I have to watch the spinning beachball for more than a minute and then another 30 seconds before I get the blinking cursor which allow me to paste the job number tag. And then another shorter wait when I insert the business job notebook. Recently this has improved but now I have to wait when I create a new note and copy a file name into the note title and then wait some more until I can drag the pdf file into the body of the note. Activity Monitor shows EN "not responding

This only happens when I have parallels and windows 10 running. As soon as I turn Windows 10 off EN behaves as it should. I used to have Windows 7 and didn't have this problem.

I am using El Capitan, Parallels 11.2.0 and Windows 10 and EN 6.6.1

Hi there @gineaux. Welcome to the Forums, and thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I have not seen this issue before...I am going to do some investigating into this and we will follow up with you as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!

I've been having the same problem, and I also run Windows 10 using Parallels 12.2.0 on my MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.5.

I solved my problem by installing and booting from a solid state drive.

Thanks for sharing, but I've been on a solid state drive the whole time. I haven't definitively traced the problem to running Parallels simultaneously, but it at least seems worse when I do. It seems like copying & pasting between notes is when the problem begins to appear and then get worse quickly. My current workaround is to quit and reopen, but it's getting annoying that I can't copy/paste in Evernote without encountering this problem.
