It sounded like the original poster was using a 3rd party app to lock Evernote, above and beyond just locking the phone, and was looking for something similar on the PC, hence the discussion. Beyond locking the PC, or localing encrypted storage, I haven't looked for any (but I might, more for a program to keep from procrastinating playing games ? ) [Is there a lock on the Evernote App? I use the desktop version] On mobile you can setup a guest account or additional users (well you can on Android 7 / LineageOS 14.1), and that seems like a good idea for people to setup and use as phones

For those that missed it, WIN+L (or CTRL+ALT+DEL, then ENTER) locks Windows immediately. And with a laptop, lock when the lid is closed (it sleeps). While having the screensaver timeout and lock the pc again is a good idea, just being in the habit of hitting WIN+L when you get up and walk away prevent anyone, especially fast moving kids, from jumping onto your account immediately after you left (which if they are impatient for their turn, or racing their siblings for the computer, they will do). [They can then easily log into their (or the kids account), which homes should set

Can you ensure the internal report reflects that some users are experiencing this on Windows 7 as well (as mentioned in this and other threads)

Is this new in this release of Evernote? Or does this happen in other programs and previous releases? Do either of you have a touch pad on a laptop? This sounds like what happens when typing and you accidentally bump the touchpad, the cursor jumps somewhere else (and it is annoying). I thought Windows 10 had a generic option to prevent that, but it seems to have disappeared since the Fall Creators update. That said, your touchpad utility for your laptop (or "additional settings" under Windows 10 Touchpad settings) might offer an option to delay or turn off the touchpad when you are typin

Did you perhaps just upgrade Windows 10 to the latest release? (The spring update, Windows version 1803, is just rolling out) That's another area where the display scaling might have changed, and perhaps co-incidence? Or did it go away when you reverted to a previous version?
-
This is a known bug that appeared after v6.7.5 that is related to your "display settings" in Windows 10 when scale and layout custom scaling is set to 125%. You can either change custom scaling to 100 or 150% (which affects all programs), or go into the properties of the Evernote program icon, and turn on "orverride high DPI scaling behaviour" (which only affects evernote). Note: the latest Windows relase being rolled out as we speak has changes to the scaling behaviour to affect blurry fonts, and I don't know how it affects this bug (if it fixes it or not, if it exasperates it, if it br

I'm embarrased to admit I never right clicked on it, just used the embedded viewer or double clicked on it to mark-up the PDF. Thanks for the tip.

Well, you'll probably only recognize it's missing when you go looking for it. So one would need to have more thorough than 1-2 backups because it could be years before you recognize something important is missing (might even suggest having backups of the Evernote install program as well, just in case it's needed to access that data... depends how paranoid you are)

Windows 10 2018 April Update
CraigZ replied to Ethan Mings's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
This release of Windows purportedly has a feature to help address fuzzy fonts ... because newer versions of Evernote have an issue with drawing horizontal rules consistently when the scaling is set to 125%, I wonder how this feature and this bug affect each other!? [I reverted to 6.7.5, so until I try a newer version/beta, I can't test this] -
While I'm suprised that something that is marketted as a digital filing cabinet doesn't allow you to "lock" files to prevent accidentally changing them, have some kind of checksum or self-validation that content hasn't corrupted itself (that I know of), or any other way of notifying you (and automatically fixing) of an unexpected change to historical notes (when people have 10's of thousands of files and attachments, impossible to monitor)... I'm also not surprised... because they have a backup system online and a premium membership to access the old versions of notes -- they need somethi

I'm still on 6.7.5 ... question - if you double click on a PDF, can you have it open it in foxit PDF externally for markup? (then at least I'm only relying on Evernote for displaying the PDF)

A different approach might be to print your articles to PDF after highlighting and using Evernote import folders to import into Evernote. Perhaps IFFT can automate the printing when you've read and highlighted an article (say after tagging it as read!?). No idea if this would work for anyone... [of course it doesn't nicely summarize they key points from the article in the Evernote note, but this might be something better done by you, as that should improve retention/comprehension of the content] [This is based on my approach of printing articles from Chrome to a PDF into an evernote im

[Edit: re-reading the thread, I guess I just re-iterated what was posted above, ha ha ha... sorry / sort of ? ] So really Sandboxie is a copy-on-write kind of virtualization solution, which I can run a separate copy of Evernote and either rely on syncronization through evernote servers to keep the two copies in sync, or ultimately overwrite the local copy fully with the Boxie changes (or only keep the original and any of its changes). That should generally work well, if I'm primarily using it to lookup information in the middle of another task. Thanks! [it doesn't really help me entire

Formatting pictures in notes

Thanks / somehow this slipped my mind / don't know what I was thinking of where I thought I couldn't. -

It would be really nice if pictures didn't have to be embedded in tables to reduce them to a usable size
