Creating notes in NixNote (a native Linux client for Evernote, most recently being developed by https://github.com/robert7) can cause what appear to be empty notes in the Android App. If you create a note in NixNote and sync it, you'll see the note with a preview of your text on the Android app's list of notes. When you open the note, however, the Android app shows you an empty note (with prompts to edit or apply a template). This problem does not exist with Evernote web app. It opens these notes fine. The workaround: Use NixNote's editor to set a specific font. It appears that the way NixNote handles notes that only include a default font is fine for Evernote for Web but not for Evernote for Android. If you select your text and set it to any other font (or set it to any other font then set it back to the default font), the Android app can deal with it. This appears only to be an issue with notes created first in NixNote. How to: Create a note in NixNote Select all the text. Change the of the selected text to any other font.(Optionally, change it back). Sync the note and it will appear well in the Android App. Alternatively, you can create and sync a note in NixNote, open it in Evernote for Web (maybe the desktop apps, too?) and make a small change (add a space at the end, for instance). When Evernote for Web then saves your changes (pretty much instantly), your note will be visible in the Android app. Use this method if you have multiple fonts set in the note you've as the above 'how to' would set them all to be the same.

This would help us navigate faster and make more sense of things. It can get really hairy trying to manage a tag tree and use it to organize and find notes.

I have tried several things to correct this problem: shutting down EN, unpinning, rebooting, repinning pinning from the start menu pinning from the then-running, duplicate icon rebuilding the icon cache (see this EN forum thread, last post, from 2013)Around the web, I've seen that other apps, including iTunes and Skype, can have this problem when installing on Windows 10. But not all apps have this problem. This page describes why we might be seeing duplicate icons. It also says a bit about how Win 7, 8, and 10 store taskbar icons: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/08/04/fix-duplicate-icon-issues-on-the-windows-taskbar/ (the path mentioned is slightly incorrect. It's %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar). I've tried removing EN shortcuts here, adding new shortcuts from scratch, and rebuiding the icon cache mentioned above. So, my educated(citation needed) guess: the install scripts EN uses need to be adjusted for Windows 10 in some way.
