Hi Pink, In my experience, I have to disagree with you on this 'system fix', as I have followed several other's suggestions for Windows 10 tweaks with no change to the EN desktop app. Maybe it's not a problem in Windows 11... Maybe it's a Win 10 issue after an EN past update. because I have been working with EN for YEARS on my current machine config. - it wasn't an issue until the last year or so. But, for those still in a Win 10 environment, and using the desktop app (although the browser isn't much better) there are TWO scroll bars when the sidebar is open. One scroll bar works ok, the other is the tricky one. In my logic, if EN can get one to work; why not the other? The scroll bar that has the problem is the one to the right of the sidebar. The width of that scroll bar has a very narrow 'hot zone' for the arrow pointer to lock on. It could literally be only 1-2 pixels wide (IDK). If you jog a bit left or a bit right, your cursor jumps to a hand, or changes to a resize icon. Even using a trackball, which is less subject to hand movements, and very precise, the narrow lock zone for the arrow is irritatingly difficult to find on the bad scroll bar. The far right scroll bar (which is also narrow) works good because the resize window cursor action does not occur until the pointer is off the scroll bar. The scroll bar is fine because the full width of that scroll bar activates as the arrow cursor, and allows for an easy click/hold. One would think a great user interface would be paramount in EN's product standards, but this 'tiny' glitch is so frustrating, I finally made the move to another platform and am slowly and sadly transitioning. I've been using EN long enough to notice a pattern. There are so many who WANT TO LOVE EN. There is an amazing simplicity that is very attractive, but they decide to move away because of seemingly logical fixes/features that are never addressed.

@PinkElephant Last month it worked fine. I am trying a reinstall of EN. DELL xps 8700 'turning disk'

HI folks, I'm trying not to be cranky, but Evernote desktop has been a mean bear lately on win 10 pc. If there is a fix, or these are symptoms of a corruption, please advise on best process. 1) choppy scrolling - this occurs in notes with several images. Using the scroll bar to actually scroll, see what I am scrolling, and then stop where I want to is very difficult. The only way to navigate without frustration is the arrow keys. 2) images have been very slow to paste, lots of spinning wheels 3) One particular note that is very long with images became impossible.... and it would not sync to the web. Constantly got the "launch or wait" dialogue trying to scroll. I relaunched, restarted machine... and no improvement, plus time between each delay was 3-5 minutes just to get my cursor back. Actually, I think the whole process threw everything on my machine into slow motion. FINALLY, when I got the cursor back I got the 'notion' to export the note to html so I could grab my text and put it somewhere else to work with. This whole process took 2 hours, just to get my text unfrozen so I could work this morning, hence... cranky me. 4) I have 2 accts, one paid, one free. Switching between these has become super slow and often fails. I have to log out and start over. I forget what the dialogue tells me. Maybe the next update will smooth some of these things out, but meanwhile.... im having to avoid evernote desktop and using web - which is OK, but not my favorite interface. Thanks for reading.

Hello, I experience the EXACT same problem for desktop PC (win 10) (not in browser) and have contacted support. Have already troubleshot with many, and more of the suggestions above. I believe this is an evernote issue because the other scroll bars on the same open window of evernote generally work fine. This is a problem with ONLY the scroll bar to the right of the notebook/tags/etc column. When navigating the cursor over the uncooperative scroll bar, it doesn't lock in on the pointer cursor with ease. Instead it pops to the resize or the hand cursor and gets very fiddly about staying in the pointer mode so the click/hold can be executed One suggestion that slightly eases my pain and frustration on this, is to slide the cursor onto the scroll bar from right to left. Sliding from left to right almost never results in a pointer that can be sustained for the scroll. Good luck to @Jackar00 and any others with this issue.
