I've got the latest (10.82.2), and this has happened a few times. I think once I did a Ctrl+R refresh to fix it, otherwise moving to a different note and back worked.

I've seen this several times in the Windows client. It is very disconcerting, to say the least. Generally leaving that note and coming back to it is enough to fix it. Once I had to do a refresh (Ctrl+R). There's clearly something weird going on.

This is definitely not the expected experience. It could be a result of the new database needing some time to fully download, but you should see your complete list of notes very quickly, and clicking any note should download and open it completely. (I can imagine -- only my imagination -- that the impact of all the Legacy users who waited till the end to upgrade having all their databases downloaded at once could at least slow things down.) If it's still this way in a couple of hours, the next bet might be to uninstall (people recommend Revo Uninstaller as doing a really complete job) and then reinstall. If you need to submit a support request, it's here: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

A simple workaround would be to use Shift+Alt+D, then Shift+Ctrl+D, at the top of the note to insert the information, print, then Ctrl+Z to remove it.

Specifically, here (with a new feature request option): https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

Yes, I noticed the new front page with the top articles (that in itself should be really helpful), but I hadn't clicked through to the following pages with the Submit a request button. All that is much simplified (and includes a page for submitting feature requests). Nicely done, and a place we can maybe more confidently refer people to from here. FWIW, I also think this is one set of pages where the "cleaner" UI look succeeds.

I suspect this is a bot scraping some discussion from years ago. Apologies if not.

That's a good point. I was so startled to see the gray box that I just assumed it had to be that we way (edit), but if we've got a default set, then, well default.

That one you can turn off. It's on the ... menu at top right of any note, under Slash commands.

Simple is not the same as practical, if the main thing you want to do (access existing notes) is not one of the simple options, as @jowett2001 said. An option to choose Home page style would be my preference also, but I wonder if they'll go that far. Generally it's "out with the old, in with the new" with Evernote.

this is deceiving and recurring matra. v10 is ALWAYS slow. Does not matter how slow 5 second or 15 seconds. Legacy was MUCH faster! Period. I will take it that you mean something like "misleading" and not intentionally "deceiving." I'll accept being called many things here, but not a liar. Everything I said was true. I did not say Evernote would be as fast Legacy. The Electron framework it's built on is the obvious and well-known primary cause of v. 10 being slower. If all you want is speed, then yes, v. 10 is less valuable. If having notes appear identically on multiple platforms (not just Windows or Mac machines only) is of value to you, then v. 10 is better. If having the same formatting functions across platforms is of value to you, then v. 10 is better. If having highly similar interfaces across platforms is of value to you, then v. 10 is better. (No tabs on Mac, no color-coded notebooks on Windows, but a Home page dashboard everywhere.) If having updates delivered promptly is of value to you, then v. 10 is better. (I invite anyone complaining about bug fixes being slow to read the forums for the pre-10 versions in 2018 and 2019.) If having the developers be able to concentrate on solidifying existing features and improving on new ones is of value to you, then v. 10 is better--better, surely, than having multiple teams of programmers adapting new features to multiple platforms in multiple codebases, as multiple bugs accumulate on each of them. Again: if all you want is speed, Legacy will be missed. If you only ever wanted to work on one or two Windows machines, then Legacy was better than v. 10. But AFAIK Evernote was never intended for that limitation, but to be a tool to work with on multiple platforms, and that is what Electron, despite its drawbacks, facilitates.

Yes, I won't say minutes, but in tests (not real-work conditions) 30-60 seconds maybe.

Wow. That was impressive. @mackid1993, any chance of a really simple explanation of what it was?

This is posted in the Android app forum. You might get more useful replies by posting in the forum designated for your system (Windows, Mac).

Great catch! For the record, you can set the default notebook in the Android app in Settings > Notebooks.

As indicated a couple of posts above yours, this is a test that Evernote is running on "selected" users. So you've been selected. There's a long-running thread about this in another forum (below). The more recent posts in it indicate that they are responding to user feedback. But I'm afraid we are going to lose our beautiful, widget-filled "normal" start page.

Thanks for this. (Although I would say that a lot of people had this problem last year, not that everyone is currently having the problem.) Do you know what it was that he tried that worked? Was there a log of the process that might have that information? It could be golden if the issue pops up again!

Welcome to the forums. I'm sure they're not. As @PinkElephant suggested, the usual cause for this is accidentally logging in with the wrong email or username, which causes the system to think you're creating a new, empty account. Evernote Help now has a dedicated FAQ on this, currently #5 in their top articles: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us.

Well, that's at least something. It acknowledges that it's a bug, and they're working on it. But obviously not on a high priority basis.

If still experiencing this, see this post:

This bug has been fixed in the latest versions, at least since v. 10.82 (and at least on Windows!). You can download the latest, if your app doesn't offer an update, at evernote.com/download.

I agree with you. The AI Edit button on the toolbar is enough; this popup when we select text is intrusive and aggressive. You may have a more immediate impact by emailing this to feedback@evernote.com.

No, I'm in light mode. The divider lines are practically invisible.

You might also look in this forum for previous requests for this -- there's at least one, maybe more -- and vote them up.

A little surprisingly (maybe), this doesn't seem to be available. I also don't think it's possible to search/filter for notes that have a note link to one specific note.
