Everything indexes ReFS storage space each time it starts

Post by com »

I have two ReFS disks running a storage space that's effectively RAID1. I've added it to Everything as a folder. Every time the PC starts everything.exe uses a lot of disk and seems to reindex it. It almost seems to read the whole file, not just the filename, according to the resource monitor screenshot attached.

I know ReFS support will come eventually, but should it be indexing folders?

Please try changing the folder update time:

In Tools -> Options -> Folders.
Select the folder index.
Change Update to Every Sunday at 3:00.

This should only index once a week.
The folder updating will occur after the update time has passed, so if Everything was not running on Sunday at 3am the update will occur the next time you run Everything.
