The Stupid idea is Evernote FORCING an update when it's inconvenient. I've been a network engineer for 20 years - I don't need any rando web dweeb telling me I'm stupid and don't know how computers work. Computers work for ME not me for THEM. Please stay off this thread if you only have bad advice to offer.

This ENTIRE thread is about the lack of a way to turn OFF automate upgrades in Win10/Win11 Evernote upgrades - if you have a solution - do tell.

Please stop responding to threads - besides having ZERO understanding of the real problem, your solutions are completely useless. First off, both Teams and Zoom has a simple little check box that says "auto update yes/no" under settings/preferences. Second, I don't need some rando from a community forum telling me how to run my life - so Frack off. It's becoming more and more apparent that Evernote is run by morons. Simple tasks never get added or fixed, and even their forum is lame - just noticed there is NO WAY to block annoying forum users .

@Federico Simionato - no where in my post did I say I wanted to turn off ALL updates. I just can't tolerate having AUTO UPDATES forced down my throat. When I open Evernote to find an important note - I expect to SEE THAT NOTE, not wait (and wait and wait and wait) for an update to process. I'll chose when I have time to run updates - NOT EVERNOTE. Otherwise, after 10 years of (paid) use, I'll be choosing to use another Note App.

Please stop posting nonsense - or better yet - read my original post. EVERNOTE, the LATEST VERSION, ON WINDOWS 10 & 11, Auto Updates with no option to postpone and will DISRUPT the application. Meaning when I need to look up ONE OF MY NOTES, if Evernote sees a update, it will just start the update and continues in update mode until it finishes and restarts Evernote. I DO NOT WANT THAT. I'm tired of software apps that think they can do whatever the Frack they want whenever they want - it's my computer, it's my software I paid for, my computer is a tool not a toy and it should work for me, not me waiting for it. So please STFU when you don't know what you're talking about. Like many problems with Evernote, this is just poor design, poor ui, and POOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

How do I turn off Auto Updates (using current version 10.59.5)? Several Google searches list answers that say "go to Tools - Options - ...). In the current version there is no "Options" menu under tools (or under settings). Surely there must be a way that I'm missing. When I'm in the middle of a project, I just need Evernote to work, not go loading some update (like more emoji's) that I couldn't care less about. Feel free to tell me a update is available - but let me decide when it's convenient for me, to install the patch. Thanks - Tom S.

Recently, it's been happening every other week or so, on ALL of my devices (work computer, home computer, smartphone, tablet - hence my disgruntlement). I don't understand why EACH device has to confirm the ONE email address associated with the ONE evernote account. I have had a paid Evernote premium account since 2010 (or something like that) with the SAME email account since day one. I don't know of ANY other service that nags me to confirm my email account (including my finance accounts). If their security is so bad they need to keep checking in to make sure they can reach me (maybe add a cell number then they can always text me if in doubt that the email isn't working), perhaps I need to reevaluate if I want to store my info in such a leaky service. Agreed, it's not the end of the world, but really Evernote you have soooooooo many flaky problems I'd have thought you fix the easy ones by now.

Please gawd, stop this nonsense. If I'm too stupid to update my contact info then trust me, I don't want to be contacted. In other words, stop asking me if my email changed and you can count that if I ever change my email address, you'll be around the 107th or so that I let know. Geeesh, Evernote seems to be getting more annoying with every freaking update.
