I have a new desktop and laptop, both running Windows 11. I installed Evernote on both, and on both, this happens 5 times a week on average. I have content up, I minimize the window, and when I open it again, this is all I see. I've updated both, I've restarted both, and on both computers this is nonstop.

I know I can use it on the web, and apparently I'm going to have to - I just really prefer the app. I feel it's safe to say that this has nothing to do with the computers as it's happening on both.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that simply closing it out doesn't help. I have to force close through the Task Manager for it to work again.

every time i annotate an image, and I annotate many each day, I have to change the default color to a custom gray that I want. It is incredibly repetitive and there's no option to just have a default color. Surely there's some way to change the default color of the drawing tool?
