More explicitly: The note starts out as version A. The computer has synced with it and the phone has synced with it. Monday the note is edited on the phone, producing version B. This edit appears when the note is opened on any other phone that the note is shared with. Tuesday the app is opened on the Windows 10 PC using the Evernote app for Windows. The note is opened. It is version A. The user makes a minor edit. This produces version A2. Now all devices that the note is shared with see only version A2. All the edits that produced version B have been irretrievably lost. Unless you have premium, I guess. But Evernote isn't supposed to be ransomware, is it?

This has happened to me numerous times. The Windows 10 app does not update the notes when you open it. It allows you to edit an older version of a note, and then when it syncs the newer version is overwritten with no "NOTE CONFLICT" version being saved. The newer version is completely lost and cannot be recovered. To get the Windows app to load the latest version of a note, you need to select a different note, then click the sync button. Clicking sync does not update the note that is currently selected.
