  1. Hi jdmarch, Thanks for recommendation. I''ve just done that on a Win10 VM i run and synced my 3000 notes. Despite this VM running on the minimum spec for Windows 10 (2 cores of the cpu, 4gb ram), the older 6.25.2 client flies along with zero delays in opening and searching. I can also instantly paste in screen grabs, which now fails 80-90% of the time on the v10 client app. (I need to open a ticket for this) This back to back exercise has opened my eye to how poor and slow the Windows v10 app has become! The Win10 PC i run the v10 app is on is a med/high end 10th gen i5 with 16gb ram and an SSD. I don't think i am asking too much for an note taking app to run decently on this spec of pc! Maybe you are right and we are in the minority who cares? The main reason i need to use the desktop app is because your can't paste screenshots into the browser version, and in the age of virtual meetings i rely on Evernote to help capture important info from online meetings and presentations. If the browser client could support this, then maybe i wouldn't need the desktop client... I don't know why Evernote web doesn't have this important functionality is beyond me, when i can easily paste screenshots into gmail or outlook webmail clients. Am i been punished for being on a grandfathered account and refusing to upgrade to the newer packages (which have additional functionality i just don't need). I really hope not! In the end, if Evernote doesn't want me as a customer, and can;t fix these basic performance issues then i will be begrudgingly forced to look elsewhere, or just use Onenote that my organisation keeps pushing me to use...
  2. I've come here after becoming so frustrated with the latest Windows version v10.22.3 I'm relieved it's not just me having performance issues, but equally sorry for all other users. Opening/creating a new note has become so painfully slow. Today saw my third instance of having to use Microsoft Word as a stopgap due to the risk of the application failing to keep up with a fast paced meeting i was called to. As a long time subscriber of Evernote (since 2010), this is the worst performance of the Evenote windows client i've ever seen. It's just plain unacceptable for what is supposed to be a mature product. I don't care about new features - i just need the core functionality to work well! I've signed in and out and trying to avoid a full removal and installation. I've got the app open, with a single note in view, and the app has consumed ~780mb of RAM. Evernote has even managed to overtake Chrome as the biggest RAM hog on my system!
  3. Hi I just found this forum as we i was looking for a way to disable the new 'Home screen' and i'm glad I'm not the only who can't stand it. It may have seem a good and user friendly UI idea, but just gets in the way between me and my notes. The inability to edit the layout without upgrading to Premium is AWFUL. Please give me a choice to disable it! I've been a happy 'Plus' user for 10 years and just don't (and never will) need Premium for my low use. The only way my monthly fee will change is when it goes to zero when these changes force me to switch to Onenote, which is being heavily pushed by my work organisation and is available for free anyway, or one of the other free/low cost competitors. Please stop this shameless upselling. For a company struggling to get new customers (in the face of massive competition) please consider treating your long time subscribers a little better. My loyalty only stretches' so far.. before you force me to look elsewhere... The quality of the Android app has taken a nosedive since the recent refresh/redesign. It's so much slower to open and access my notes list (on my recent pixel device). The useful 'quick capture' multi function single icon widget has gone too. I don't want or need a row of 5 icons taking up my phone's screen. PLEASE PLEASE reconsider the new Homescreen direction. If this homescreen turns up on either the Windows App or the web client then i'm afraid i'm out... Thanks..
