OK, thanks, I will try that. I won't know if it works until the next time Windows updates but I'll do that now.

Interestingly, it just happened again. I was definitely using EN this morning, then needed to restart Windows for updates. When it restarted, EN was gone again and i had to download and install again and now it's rebuilding all my notes. It's not my antivirus program as it's definitely tied to Windows updates.

yes, I was able to re-install and it downloaded all my data. I just wondered what would suddenly cause it to be deleted? Pink Elephant - it was my home laptop that deleted EN so no IT involved, just me. My work one is fine, just did the auto-update thing. I looked for a way to turn that off but didn't see it. I generally do accept updates but often I'm in a hurry to get some piece of information from EN, esp at work, and don't want to wait while it downloads the new one, installs and then finally opens. I prefer to get my work done and then accept the update. most software will tell you there is an update and ask if you want to do it now or wait.

Evernote suddenly deleted itself on my laptop. One day it was there, the next day it was gone with no evidence of having been there at all. The start menu link was gone and when I searched in programs, there was only an empty EN folder. I think I did have some Windows updates recently but it seems like I'd used EN again after that, as generally I'm in EN almost every day. Anyone else have this happen? On my work laptop today I tried to open EN and it immediately downloaded the newest update without even opening the old one and asking me if I wanted to, but the start menu button was still there. With my home laptop there was nothing to show EN had ever been there other than the single empty folder. Both are running Windows 10 with all the most recent security updates.

Oh, that makes sense now! I was defaulting to using the top Move button since it was that way in the legacy version. I thought it was weird that EN would have changed multi-move and no one else had complained!

And now, to make things even worse, I find I am unable to move more than one note at a time? I normally go through and select several related notes then hit move to send them all to a particular notebook. It lets me tag several at once but when I choose move, with more than one selected, it says "moving 1 of 1 notes" and moves only the first one. What is up with that?

I guess I can see this, Dave, although it's very rare that it happens to me and I usually notice it right away. I rarely limit searches to a single notebook so it's not going to cause trouble retrieving it if I accidentally send it to the wrong notebook. I would still prefer the drop-down menu (as well as moving tags back to the top alongside the Notebook button)

I am trying to retrain myself not to click on the notebook but to hover and find the move notebook button. However, can EN at least bring back the dropdown menu when you do click on the Move notebook? Instead it has to open up a whole mini-window with the notebooks listed, you choose it and then still have to click Done. With drop down it's one click to open and one click to choose and it's automatically done. That may seem petty, 2 clicks instead of 3, but when you have a lot of notes to sort it makes a huge difference. I import everything to an Inbox and then tag and sort them into notebooks (yes, I use both tags and about 6 notebooks)

Thanks, Jon. I will watch for that.

OK, thanks. I never realized it was all storing locally!

I"m not the OP but I have a similar question. I am using Windows 10 and EN 10.58.8. I checked the EN folder under Windows and it has over 7 GB. What is being saved locally? I thought everything was saved to the cloud unless you specified local notebooks? Within the EN folder both Temp Files and Local Storage list the same 7.11 GB I only recently upgraded to EN10, was using the legacy version until a month or so ago. Is this leftover from then and can I safely delete and/or do I need to something else? I am limited on SSD space, am down to 12 GB free of a 250 GB drive (older laptop) so will be moving more of my music and photos off once I can get my external SSD to upgrade its software and start working again. But I'd still like to not be using so much for EN if possible.

LOL, fair enough! Still 3000 pages *seems* ginormous so I can certainly understand the appeal of being able to search it quickly using Evernote.

For personal files such as your Schwab account or credit card statements, you could keep a copy of your ginormous pdf on your hard drive, append the new one each month and then save a copy to Evernote for searching, each month replacing the previous giant one in EN. For a giant database of business client info, seems to me that's what practice management software is for. But you could still probably work around in EN by doing the same thing I mentioned for personal files, except you'd have to combine them daily and add to your local copy and then upload, etc.

I completely agree here. I was in on some of the beta versions and ended up uninstalling them b/c they were so buggy and lacked features I was used to using on a daily basis (import folder for one). Since v.10 was released I've kept with the legacy version on my PC but did use the web version to see what all the excitement about the home page is. I do think it's a big improvement over the previous web version, which I rarely used because it was so ugly. However, my android phone EN app says it's up to date yet there has been no change at all. I have the latest version of android so I don't know why it won't upgrade. I use EN much like the person in the video above - for my (veterinary) medical resources and most recently while working on my master's degree. I dread the idea of migrating but if they stop supporting the legacy Windows app and force upgrade to v.10 I will be moving on as well.

I don't know about Mac, but my web version was still the old one. I had to click on something under my account to change it. Try looking there.
