This problem is becoming more common by the day. With no solution in sight, I could not wait any longer. I uninstalled the latest version of EN Desktop for Windows and installed the "legacy" version 6.25.9198. It has been running much better, faster, and has not created any duplicate notes.

Did EN tech support resolve this problem for you?

Thank you for the update. I apologize for the duplicate posting. I did, in fact, include a description of my experiences. To recap, "when the application creates duplicate and conflicting copies of notes that contain nothing more than plain text, it makes the application unusable". I have experienced this issue 3 times in the last 5 days since I installed version 10.24.3 on a newly provisioned Windows 10 computer. I only had the application running on that computer (my Android phone and tablet were powered off). While editing a simple and short note, I received an in-application notice that additional copies of the note were found. I checked the note list and confirmed there were 3 additional copies of the note, 2 with conflicting changes. The note is only 20 lines long and contains nothing but plain text. There are no embedded pictures, attached files, etc. The last time I attempted to speak to support was 2 years ago regarding the issue where, on Android, starting a new line in a note with a hyphen and the app decides I want a bulleted list. The result was basically, "yes, we're aware of it but have other priorities at this time". I was left with the feeling that user experiences and problems just aren't that important to the dev team. Hence, I've just put up with the idiosyncrasies on Android and Windows. In the mean time, I hear from friends and co-workers how great Evernote is on MacOS and iOS.

Here we are, over a year later, and the "duplicate note" issue is still a problem. I got a new Windows 10 computer so I installed the latest version of Evernote 10.24.3. I don't particularly care for the new UI and workflow (e.g. DO NOT ASSUME that, just because I start a new line with a hyphen that I want a bulleted list; this problem is over 2 years old on Android, and now it's in Windows as well). I can adjust. BUT, when the application creates duplicate and conflicting copies of notes that contain nothing more than plain text, it makes the application unusable! I've been a paid subscriber since October 28th, 2011 and things seem to keep getting worse for Android and Windows users. Evernote, if you really only want to support Mac and iOS, fine, but be honest about it!

The lack of ability to disable this annoying feature, which I commented about on 27-Aug-2018, has caused me to start looking for an alternative to Evernote. From what I can tell, the product works well on iOS and MacOS. Based on personal experience, it works just OK on Windows, though the editor has some quirks that take getting used to. But on Android, where I basically run my entire life, Evernote is VERY DISAPPOINTING! As others have commented, it's been over a year and we're still dealing with this issue. I understand and support the team not catering to free-level users. But as a paying user (Plus level subscription), I would think this issue would get more attention than it has. Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas...

Awkward and very inconvenient, but the kludge works. Thanks for sharing your solution!

This is definitely a new problem that was introduced in the 8.3 update. I have started new lines with "- " (dash space) using earlier versions with no trouble. I tried the undo button as suggested in another post. It reverted ALL changes to the current note. Like other people in this thread, this is a huge problem for me! Android dev team, please DO NOT introduce new "features" without allowing the user to configure them.
