What issue do you have?

Several things appear to be happening. When I start Joplin Notes, the screen flickers and nothing appears to happen. Then when click the icon again, I get TWO copies. One copy has a new notebook I just created about an hour ago and the other does not have that notebook. I suspect these are two different issues, but I don't know how to describe it any different.

I can close the one without the new notebook and work find, but I don't know why that other version appears.

Also, spell check stopped working. I turned it off and on. I restarted (which is when I noticed the 2 versions starting up).

Sync is not throwing any errors and backup worked too. I did an export-all to a .jex file as a precaution.

I uninstalled joplin and reinstalled. Now when I start joplin there is no flicker, But, I get 24 tasks without the user interface. The log does not show any errors (see log.txt).

If I open joplin a second time, the user interface does appear. I only get 1 copy of the notebooks, which is a step forward and all of my notebooks are there.

When I close joplin using windows “X”, the user interface closes but the 24 tasks remain. I have to manually end-task. When I close using File > Close the 24 tasks go away.
