Windows 10 - Not showing network drives

[mattdu]

Installed 1.3.4.686 on a Windows 10 machine. When going to select folders, mapped network drives are not showing up. Any ideas?

[therube]

Is this a new behavior?

When going to select folders

Just where are you going to "select folders"?

Windows 10

Do you have "Anniversary" whatever installed?

If you run Everything as administrator you will not see mapped network drives mounted from a standard user.

Please try running Everything as a standard user and install the Everything service:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab.
• Check Everything Service
• Uncheck run as administrator.
• Click OK.
• Restart Everything.

Oh, that.
Yeah, I've read about that before, at least here, Mapped Network Drive not shown & probably in these forums too.

Even just today, happened to have an administrative level command prompt open, & ran firefox.exe from that. Then I was not able to install an extension into FF dragged from a "standard-level" Windows Explorer window.

Thanks void. This corrected my issue.

@mattdu:

In case you're interested in having the latest version of Everything, you can download v1.4.0.717b here:

http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.4.0.717b.x64.zip (64-bit)
http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.4.0.717b.x86.zip (32-bit)

The version you are using is over 2 years old. A lot of improvements have been made since then. Many thanks to David (void)!

NOTE: While these are BETA versions, I've been using Everything v1.4.0.717b (64-bit) for long time now, and it's been very stable for me.

Everything was not including mapped network drives on my wife's laptop and my laptop. I installed 1.4.0.713b.x64 on my desktop and the two laptops.
My desktop has several drives that I've shared out and mapped on the two laptops. I've performed the above suggestions but still Everything is not searching the mapped drives on the two laptops. I thought Everything was searching the network drives in the past but I'm not sure of this statement.

All three systems recently install Windows 10 updates.

FYI - When using xplorer2 (file manager) I see the network drives on the laptop.

Could you please send the first few lines of debug info for your Everything:

• In Everything, please Ctrl + ~
• What is displayed at the top of the debug console?
  You should see something like:

  Code: Select all

  Everything
  Version 1.4.1.761b (x86) DEBUG
  Windows NT 6.1
  Processors 8
  IsAdmin 1
  AppData 0
  Service 0
  cmdline "c:\dev\everything\debug\Everything.exe"

Have the network drives been added to your folder indexes (Tools -> Options -> Folders) or are the network drives not available?

I'm having issues pressing the required keys. You state "In Everything, please Ctrl + ~" on my keyboard the + and ~ require that I also press the shift key, is this what you are expecting? If I do press the shift key nothing seems to happen. However if I just press the three keys I get a window that is different from yours. See the following image of what I get. Is this the debug screen?

W700 Debug 2016 1003 not including network drives.png (11.51 KiB) Viewed 10175 times

Also on my laptop I noticed in the above window I noticed an error, see the following image.

W700 Debug 2016 1003 Error in the debug console .png (7.65 KiB) Viewed 10175 times

Also I noticed that both laptops are scanning the drives every time Everything is opened, whereas on my desktop it does not scan the drives when Everything is opened. On my laptop I have 6 USB attached drives and the scan takes about 5 minutes because the laptop is old. My wife's laptop is MUCH slower than my laptop but Everything is only scanning the local drive.

Ref "Have the network drives been added to your folder indexes (Tools -> Options -> Folders) or are the network drives not available?"
On my wife's laptop only the local drive shows but via xplorer2 I can access the drives.
On my system the same is true. On this system as a test I did add one of the network drives on my desktop but it seems that Everything is ignoring it.

What application do I need to view the contents of the Everything.db file? Microsoft Access was not able to open it. I just wanted to see what is in the db.

Yes, it should be Ctrl + `

Is this the debug screen?

Yes, thank you.

Also on my laptop I noticed in the above window I noticed an error, see the following image.

That is normal for Everything 1.4.0

Also I noticed that both laptops are scanning the drives every time Everything is opened

Are you using folder indexes to index these drives?
Is it all drives or do some quickly rescan?

On my wife's laptop only the local drive shows but via xplorer2 I can access the drives.

Do you know if xplorer2 is running as admin? does Windows Explorer show the network drives?

What application do I need to view the contents of the Everything.db file? Microsoft Access was not able to open it. I just wanted to see what is in the db.

Here is a tool you can use to convert the Everything.db to a csv file:
Database recovery tool

Are you using folder indexes to index these drives?

I'm not sure, how do I check? To check this I think I should click Tools > Options > Folders (under Indexes). If this is correct then the answer is no.

Is it all drives or do some quickly rescan?

All seems to take a long time on both systems. On my system the boot drive is a Corsair Force 3 SSD 250 GB, I also have a 2nd drive installed in the laptop (500GB), all the other drives are USB attached 2TB and 3TB.
Most of the time in the bottom left corner I see "Scanning" followed by the drive letter but sometimes I see something about indexing (this disappeared before I could capture an image.

*******************
As a test if I click Tools > Options > Folders and add one of the network drives (I click add, Network, S4 (this is my desktop), select the drive (S4-S-WDRed4TB, it is added as \\S4\S4-S-WDRed4TB and is ignored by Everything.

However if I click Tools > Options > Folders and add one of the network drives > click on This PC > scroll down and select the mapped drive (S4-S-WDRed4TB (\\S4) (S:)) it is added as S:\ and Everything now displays what I'm searching for on that drive.

Do you know if xplorer2 is running as admin?

On the laptops xplorer2 is NOT running as admin. I verified this in the taskmgr > Elevated column.

does Windows Explorer show the network drives?

Yes when I click on "This PC"

Also I noticed that both laptops are scanning the drives every time Everything is opened, whereas on my desktop it does not scan the drives when Everything is opened.

On my laptop Everything now opens without scanning all the drives. Earlier I used Revo Uninstaller to remove Everything. I then installed Everything-1.3.4.686.x64, still Everything scanned all drives when it started. I then installed Everything-1.4.0.713b.x64 and still it scanned all the drives.

I just tested on my wife's laptop. When I started Everything all the drives were scanned. I then clicked Tools > Options > Folders (under Indexes) and add one of the network drives > click on This PC > scroll down and select the mapped drive (S4-R-WDRed4TB (\\S4) (R:)) , it was added at R:\, then clicked the apply button. After the drive was scanned (gee this too a long time, 6TB drive). I closed Everything and restarted, YEA the drives were not scanned. It seems that adding a network drive did something that eliminated Everything to use the db.

Thanks for the reply.

Tools -> Options -> Folders is correct.

Please try increasing your USN Journal sizes:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab.
• For each NTFS volume:
  • Change Maximum Size to:
    65536 KB
• Click OK.

I'll need to see the debug output to figure out why Everything is rescanning:

• Completely exit Everything (Right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit)
• Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
• Change the following line:
  debug=0
  to:
  debug=1
• Save changes and restart Everything
• What is displayed in the debug console after Everything rescans?

As a test if I click Tools > Options > Folders and add one of the network drives (I click add, Network, S4 (this is my desktop), select the drive (S4-S-WDRed4TB, it is added as \\S4\S4-S-WDRed4TB and is ignored by Everything.

Could you please send the debug output after performing the same action?
You can toggle the debug console here with Ctrl + ` in Everything.

On my laptop Everything now opens without scanning all the drives. Earlier I used Revo Uninstaller to remove Everything. I then installed Everything-1.3.4.686.x64, still Everything scanned all drives when it started. I then installed Everything-1.4.0.713b.x64 and still it scanned all the drives.

Changing versions will require a rebuild, if you wish to run multiple version, please consider multiple instances.

I closed Everything and restarted, YEA the drives were not scanned. It seems that adding a network drive did something that eliminated Everything to use the db.

Please send me the debug output after modifying the Everything.ini with debug=1 (See above).
