dbvirago 468 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I was having the same problem. DeDeG's suggestion worked for me. Pin to taskbar after opening the program, not before. Link to comment
rgprints 2 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Problem still there with latest version of Evernote and Windows 10. I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 10; previously was using an older laptop with Windows 7. Installed Evernote, pinned it to the task bar, and whenever I open Evernote a second icon appears on the task bar. I checked if there were any updates and Evernote said I have the latest version installed, 6.4.2.3788. What should I do? Link to comment
DeDeG 0 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 To pin the icon to the task bar, open the program, right click on the icon as it shows in the task bar and then you will see a "Pin to taskbar" selection. This worked for me in Windows 10. Link to comment
Bryn26 69 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 This issue is fixed for me since updating the app. Thanks guys! Thanks for fixing this. I went back to Windows 7 though - Windows 10 is not for me. You wasted your time doing that. The only difference between Windows 7 and 10 in terms of usability is the start menu. You could have just installed Start10 to have a Windows 7 start menu in Windows 10. Link to comment

AKureno 1 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks a lot to all of the developers! The icon and the Jump List functions are working right now. Also, I like so much the change of style in the checkboxes of the to-do lists. Great work! Link to comment
corwyn 2 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 That is great! I checked for updates, installed and now have only one icon - Thanks for fixing it. Link to comment
KOP-EGG 1 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 This bug should be fixed in our latest release: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/87863-new-evernote-for-windows-590/ Yes, it has been fixed! Thanks a lot to all developers! Link to comment

corwyn 2 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Still a bug and at this point for me is only with Evernote. I had the issue with iTunes but replaced the .lnk file with one from a machine where the icon was not duplicated and that worked for iTunes so for me this is only an issue with Evernote, hoping there is a fix very soon - thanks Link to comment
dconnet 529 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 This is a Windows 10 shell bug. Calling SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID seems to be the cause. (And we need to call that to enable jumplists.) Link to comment
Michael Ehling 23 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 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. Link to comment
KOP-EGG 1 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Same issue here.Win 10 Home 64bit upgraded from Win 7.Hope it will be fixed asap. Link to comment
AKureno 1 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'm having this problem too (Windows 10 Home, 64 bit).Also, when the Evernote app is open, the Jump List shortcuts doesn't seem to work. I mean, if I clic any of the options of the Jump List ("New Note", "Search Note", etc.) in the "duplicate" icon nothing happens. Moreover, the pinned icon desn't have any Jump List items.This is really frustrating... Link to comment
Oivalf 0 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Same issue here (Windows 10, clean install). In my case, it happens only with Evernote and iTunes... Please fix this. Link to comment
yxlrei 9 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Same issue here. A duplicate icon would show up if I pin EN to taskbar and click on it. Slight annoying as it creates an inconsistent outlook on my taskbar. Hope to see this fixed asap. Link to comment
Bryn26 69 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm also having this issue with the duplicate icons. No other app is presenting the same issue in Windows 10 for me. Same thing happening on iTunes 12.2 so its not just EN.. Yeah I remember having the problem frequently with iTunes back when I still used it, but that was always a quick fix. You basically just had to play around with pinning and unpinning the icons separately until it worked. Nothing I do will get this Evernote icon to stop duplicating itself though. Link to comment
ckvam 0 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This happened on and off for me on Windows 8 too. Slightly annoying! Now with W10 I have another icon hassle: I get only the big ugly old IE "e" icon for Evernote on my Start menu/when I pin it on the Taskbar... The program opens all right, but I miss the elephant!! -The mini-icon, bottom right, is still a green elephant, to my great comfort. Was this Windows 10 that did it and are we getting some help for this, I wonder... Link to comment
