Two different longish notes duplicated 4 or 5 times this morning. I was doing data entry and returning to top of not and correcting typos by either manual entry or with spell checker.
I have seen this problem periodically with many versions of Evernote, even since 10.03
I use the app version in Windows 10, generally not the Web version.
During these errors, I had the version just before this on :
10.27.5-win-ddl-public (3122)
Editor: v137.1.17455
Service: v1.44.3

I am working on a win 10 Pro laptop, that has just also updated windows this morning 2 hours ago. (Yet EN was doing this over the last week anyway.)
I have an Android app of EN, but it is off line at the moment.
My internet connection is 300MB speed via Comcast.
* I refer to "a version just before " because I have now just done an update to Evernote as well. To see if this helps. (Previous updates did not always help immediately, as the effect seems to be random and unrelated to My-side internet connectivity)
So while I was entering this Comment at this forum, I also paused to make more entries into one of the notes that had duplicates. (This was AFTER i got rid of the previous duplicates.)
In the last 10 minutes, Evernote did NOT YET create duplicates, FYI.
** SO, the comment I will add is partially in response to some threads about this issue from over the years that I have just read (and I have not read them all). One comment thread justified the duplicates and Evernote's message about it based on "justifying it" due to difficulty synchronizing due to tremendous internet traffic (implied to be AT Evernote's servers), in particular since Evernote has gone "All in the Cloud" for the last year or more.
This is unacceptable. For one, a comfortable method for those who want to keep everything on a local drive, at least until a manual synchronize is approved by the user, ought to be still available, errors or not.
Secondly, having to write outside of Evernote , then attach or copy-paste into a note, is a WORK-AROUND, not a true solution.
3rd, the message we get, about A duplicate (but having multiple duplicates) , when actually unavoidable due to server-end observed un-synchronization, should be know by Evernote technology, and be more informative, in such a way that an end user can more easily determine if that is the cause (vs a problem on the client side, for example) and have duplicate notes (older by a millisecond?) labeled in some way to assist deleting wasted duplicates wholesale, rather than having to go through each with each having a new "located a duplicate" message" time wasting mess. I myself have experience the fear of deleting the "wrong" note just in case the duplicates have some new data that another doesn't. We need a way to see which is the most complete "duplicate" or best latest without reviewing each and every one. Granted, so far, the latest, (by seconds), appears strongly to be the best, but the event can raise doubts. (I do keep my main "notes" list sorted by most-recent.)
Thank you for your consideration. If more duplicates show up, I will return to this or any other suggested forum.
