Why won't Evernote start?
BikerDon replied to BikerDon's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
Seems like the 5 rogue processes were the cause, I killed them and tried again while watching Task Manager - that was interesting alright. EN processes started up gradually one at a time getting up to a total of 8 at one stage then dropping to 5. Then an EN window slowly started to appear. Eventually EN was up and running. All this took an absolute eternity, I wish I has started a timer, I reckon it was 5 minutes or so. I then noticed the green elephant had appeared in the task bar icon after some time - it was an empty white square for most of the startup, I guess updating icons is on of the last things startup does. I see I am back to 8 processes again. It will be interesting to see if any are left hanging when I close EN down next time. [EDIT} Forgot to mention the EN elephant icon is back in the notification area so all appears to be well once again ๐ I'm going to leave it going for the time being ๐ค Thank you @Mike P -

I should have mentioned that task manager shows 16 EN processes when it's trying to start; when it gives up trying there are 5 processes left running but nothing appears on the screen ๐ And there is no sign of the EN app in the notification area. Those 5 possibly rogue processes could be the answer, I'll try pruning them (while 'pruning' a beer or two ๐ป obviously ๐) if they're still there, thank you ๐๐ป -

โIt usually takes several attempts for Evernote to start in Windows for some reason <sigh!> until the past few days that is. EN on my Android tablet always behaves itself and starts when I want/need it to. I click or double-click the icon on the Task bar, I click or double-click the icon in the results from doing a search for Evernote, I click or double click the icon in the Evernote folder. Usually I get a spinner for a few seconds then it vanishes and nothing happens. I try again and again and then after a few attempts Evernote starts. I then leave Evernote running unless I have to close it or Restart. The icon on the Taskbar has gone white and I've lost the green elephant. In the past few days I just keep clicking or double-clicking. Sometimes I get a spinner for a few seconds, sometimes nothing happens. Evernote never starts ๐ข Should I reboot? Should I reinstall? Should I have a beer? ๐บ Should I have a lot of beer? ๐ป ๐คทโโ๏ธ Perhaps I should should go over to the Apple dark side. (Waits for resultant backlash....) ๐

Think I'll move this to 'Possible Bugs/Technical Issues > Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)'

Why do I keep updating? Grrrrr!!
BikerDon replied to BikerDon's topic in Evernote General Discussions
There is an even easier way - see attached screen shot...... But I do have 653 Notes. I did this when I had far fewer Notes but after an update they all came back again. So as you can imagine I don't want to do it again ๐ -

It fixes the 15/16 font pt size variation too, thanks ๐ -

I do my own implementation of Backlinks then. The top of every Note has a list of all the relevant Notes as you can see (a TOC as you call it). Every relevant linked Note has the same TOC so I can return to the starting page or any of the other relevant Notes at will. A simple copy and paste when creating a page means a saving of ยฃ6.67 a month ๐คฃ -

Thank you for that tip, it works with the colour variation but it doesn't fix the links that ended up as 'Mixed' font -

BikerDon replied to BikerDon's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I don't clip web pages I insert web links for pages that are useful to me when building or configuring the model. As I said it chooses one of the many links in the Note and inserts it at the top which is completely unnecessary as the link is already in the appropriate section of the Note -

OK so maybe not a huge problem in the grand scheme of Evernote but it annoys the hell out of me and my OCD ๐ -
Every time I upgrade I end up with mixed formatting in the internal links to other Notes - it is so annoying. Oh yes and the default font changes and the previous font I use to like using isn't available any more <sigh!> And then there's those annoying Backlinks and links to web pages already linked from within my Note. Is there anything I can do about them please?
