Same behavior, at startup Evernote 10.17.6 shows green spinner in the foreground for 20-30s before I can interact with the note in focus. I am Evernote Plus.

This feels suspiciously similar to the View Only bug on Android they just fixed, i.e. the app has to do 20s of work to the local DB before it lets you do anything. Except in this case you can't even look at notes.

Confirming the update fixes the issue completely on my Android. Thanks!

Thanks for these reports!  We are working on a fix for this issue that is scheduled for the next release.  Until this issue is solved we found that sometimes quitting  the app or closing the note and reopening  fixes the issue.

Thank you for your patience while we work on a fix. 

Thanks Austin.

The issue seems to be if Evernote hasn't been run recently it takes a while (30s?) to be 'ready' to accept edits. Until then everything opens in View Only. This is really bad for 'I'll just take a quick note' since I expect no delay.

I managed to fix it - 3 notes I created in 2016 seemed to not have synced properly, after deleting them I can export all notes in one batch.

These were the steps I used find and delete the notes with missing content.enml files:

This is so useful, thank you!

Another tip: If a note is causing an error, you don't have to delete it. I made a random edit (added a linebreak at the end) and re-synced, and now the notebook exports.

Thanks.
