Failed to run as Administrator

Post by entity00 »

Hi,
after months of great usage, Everything (latest version) stopped working, saying "Failed to run as Administrator".
Tried to reinstall it, to no avail.
I'm on Windows 7 X64.

Any help?
thanks

Please try enabling the Compatibility option: Run this program as an administrator:
  • Right click a Everything Shortcut.
  • Click Properties
  • Click the Compatibility tab.
  • Check Run this program as an administrator.
  • Click OK.
However, I suspect the UAC is preventing Everything from running as administrator.
You may need to lower your UAC settings.
