If it is possible then the solution might be to install the legacy app.
Not possible. Win10S only allows store installs. The only solution (until the scheduled 10.6 fix) is to use the web client.

Go to...C:\User\yourname\Appdata\Roaming...delete the Evernote folder (note: Appdata might me invisible, simply show all folder)
You can just type `%APPDATA%` into explorer and press return too.

Most people who have seen this have are basic users with 2 devices already registered. There's evidently a bad bug in the server where the page that tells you this is completely messed up. Log in to the web interface and use that to revoke a device's access
(v6 and v10 count as separate device instances)Edit: v6/v10 being 2 instances was a rumor I thought I'd seen in another thread - corrected below by Shane, so editing that out here!

From others who have posted, it seems this is a box saying you're using too many devices. (v6 and v10 count as 2 devices even on the same machine - at least I'm pretty sure). It seems there's a bug displaying that page. Try going in thru the web interface and revoke a device.

2 months and counting to just disable a setting... what a bunch of awesome coders. 💩
The coders could very well have the fix complete. Completion of a fix does not necessarily mean it will be in the next release. There are a lot of things gating bugs/features moving forward. (QA availability, Management decisions, etc...) As a dev, that can be a particularly annoying aspect of development cycles.

can someone petition the developers to pay attention to us?
It's not the devs you need - it's management! The devs are good people - I worked with them for 6 years. But they don't make the decisions on product direction.

It's a Windows standard behaviour that clicking the top-right 'x' will just close the window but leave the app running.
That's not a standard Windows behavior. Standard behavior is to close the program. Evernote's standard behavior is to continue running. (Unless you're running legacy and uncheck the 'sync in background' option!) A program has to go out of their way to change the 'X's behavior.

I don't know the details, but I find the claim that a 32-bit program couldn't use dark mode hard to believe.
It has nothing to do with 32bits. Windows dark mode is only available to Windows Store (.net) apps. The EN (legacy) client is a Win32 (full thick client windows application - "win32" can mean either 32bit or 64bit - yeah, weird developer nomenclature) app. Win32 apps using native controls simply do not have access to the dark mode api. It used to be that a Win32 app couldn't even determine if dark mode was enabled without checking an undocumented registry flag. I don't know if that has changed since I looked at it.
> But, even granting that, it's pretty unusual to have to rewrite much just to recompile a program in 64 bits. Most of the time, it does not take any changes at all.
ROFL!!! BTDT, seen many pointers pushed into a 32bit variable. It's not that it won't compile - it will - and then proceeds to blow up in the most interesting ways! The first step is seeing what the compiler tells you (with warnings cranked all the way up). The 2nd step is inspecting pretty much every line of code that works with pointers.
Also, as I remember, there were some 3rd party libraries we (past tense, I've been gone a while now) used that didn't support 64bits. So the effort required to update was deemed too much - since we still had to support 32bit OSes.

it installed ok, but it would not let me 'login' because it didn't have an internet connection
That has always been the case with Legacy. When you login, it has to verify against the main server. It then stores an access token locally so you can remain logged in even when offline. That token has a long expiration time. But you can also revoke that token from the web interface.

Not familiar with W10 "S"
The "S" stands for "Stupid". (at least that's how we described it when testing on it)
Ok, it's really (from the ms webpage) "Windows 10 in S mode is a version of Windows 10 that's streamlined for security and performance, while providing a familiar Windows experience. To increase security, it allows only apps from the Microsoft Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing."

Hopefully it means that, eventually, v10 will catch up and overtake v6.25
Way back when (when I left 1.5y ago), the expectation was it would reach about 85% parity. Hopefully time (and these forums!) are convincing them to go further...

Sounds like maybe a hot-fix was applied without a incr ver.
No, it's people commenting about the v10 version. (If a version was released without a version increment, you'd know it because the installer would have a fit because of how MSI works.)

Then they took most staff from being productive, and send them for retraining to learn JavaScript and else.
And many of us who worked on platform specific clients have gone on to other things. (Robotics is way cooler than office apps!)

Would that include setting up a user discussion site
with forums for users to present issues and feedback/requests
and a voting system for users to indicate request supportNow where have I seen something like that...

Am I expected to update manually to a v 10.2?
You won't be able to. v10 requires Win10. (I, too, am on Win10 and staying with v6.)

LOL! The internal project name when this was first started is leaking! (I moved on to other things about 1 1/2 years ago)

After three unsuccessful installs of Evernote 10.2.4 on Windows 10 Pro (ver 10.0.19041) I finally succeeded. But it did not install in a Windows Program Files directory but in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Programs\evernote-client. What gives with the strange location and why the drama with the installation in the first place?
They changed from an all-users install to a per-user install. (Pretty sure it's so they can do silent updates without requiring admin access.) I just saw in another thread that they're working on an all-user install. (No idea why you had a problem installing. Of course, I haven't tried. You can pry v6 out of my cold dead hands!)

Sounds like v10 is an Electron app.
It is.

I know why this was done. It can now be silently updated behind your back without needing admin permission.

Why on earth would the even the basic "Win + Shift + F" be removed....
One reason for that would be anything using the Win key may be usurped by Microsoft. A program not use the Win key as an accelerator (by default).
I remember when I was there, we used to use Win+Shift+S for screen capture. Then Windows 10 came along and "stole" it. I remember posting messages here for months saying "you need to change the key you have assigned". (Legacy's default was eventually changed to ctrl+alt+s)

Until there is a clear definition of what is in the "legacy" 6.25.2 version I am sticking with the last version I have, 6.25.1 . 6.25.1 is working plus the chaos in the V 10 cluster thingamabob makes sitting on the sidelines seem the right thing to do at this point.
And 6.25.2 is evidently not an upgrade - I'm on 6.25.1 and doing a "Check for updates" says "nope!".

except that Evernote desktop is a web app. It is not.
Welllll.... v10 is an Electron app. So it may be running locally, but it's basically the same code as in the web browser version.

So you left EN because of the client switch to Electron?
Yes. I like working in C++ (yeah, I'm a weirdo). I don't want to work in Javascript.

Is this normal? There is always 6 subprocesses when I check the task manager. It does use up a lot of CPU all the time too.
Yes. And as @Dave-in-Decatur notes, the legacy app does too. It's a sign that the application uses CEF (chromium embedded framework). Yes, the same thing that the Chrome browser is built on.

I had mentioned that as I thought I'd seen someone else post that in another thread. (I'm only running v6...) I'll edit (if I can) my post above...
